Chair Report
As we know, MCT has now passed its 40th anniversary of providing a service to the local and surrounding communities.
We had planned to celebrate our 40th Anniversary sometime this year but now feel it would best put back to either 45th or 50th year.
The specialised transport service we provide enables those most at risk to attend exercise groups, day centres, lunch clubs, church groups and other events, helping them to live a more vibrant, happier and healthier old age by enabling them to stay active for longer and taking many out of isolation. Indeed, Manor Community Transport is a key enabler for many of the User Groups who use our service and make no mistake our three mini buses bring an enormous benefit to so many people.
None of the services we provide would be possible without our brilliant team of Volunteers. The Trustees would like to convey their utmost thanks to all our Volunteers, whose dedication, enthusiasm, tenacity and generosity, allows MCT to operate.
All our volunteers regularly go the extra mile to ensure the continuation of our service.
I would like to further thank my fellow Trustees; Keith Grainger, Philip Staton, Pete Clark and Ian Wood for ensuring the sustainability of MCT in these challenging times.
We would like to thank SYPTE and SCT for their continued support with funding and advice. In addition, a big thank you to our user groups, who over the years have continued to support and use our services.
We would also like to thank the following that have continued to offer vital support to the organisation over the past years:
- Fairleigh Development Company - who have provided office accommodation
-The Ecumenical Parish of Sheffield Manor - who have provided a room to hold our AGM
-St Theresa School - for continuing to allow us to use their premises to park our vehicles safely and securely overnight.
- Finally - a huge Thank You! To our funders, without whom this service would be very difficult to maintain.
Dave Brown – Chair
Vehicle Report
Once again, this year Richard Marshall, Adam Morley and Kevan Brown have ensured that all three minibuses have been taken for their 8 weekly safety checks, twice annually tail lift services and annual service in addition to anything else that has arisen i.e. new tyres fitted. All three Drivers have also cleaned the buses during this period. Fortunately, there have been no major issues with the buses apart from the ongoing saga with Stoneacres and Peugeot, with regards to the side step on FCC - which sticks and is a common fault on these vehicles. However, the cost to replace is £3,000, hence the ongoing saga as Stoneacres have to be continually chased and in turn, they are discussing the fault with Peugot. Fortunately, we got the vehicle in whilst it is under warranty. Even so, we still await the outcome.
Richard generally keeps the buses topped up with AdBlue and screenwash
The Drivers have fuel cards and put diesel in themselves.
Richard & Kevan have a schedule of when and where to take the buses for their safety checks, tail lift services and annual service and use their initiative to book in the buses for whatever is required to keep them operational. Lisa has taxed the buses, sought the most competitive insurance and the best breakdown cover for the buses for this current year. Richard & Kevan will be taking the buses for their MOTs during September.

Financial Report
We have had another very positive year to date, with up to pre pandemic usage regarding User Group numbers. We are taking 12 groups per week and other ad hoc groups, which our volunteers go the extra mile in order to fit these ad hoc groups in amongst their regular groups.
I am pleased to report that this year, once again, has been a financially stable one, given the grants already received. The general unrestricted reserve fund remains at £10,628 helping to continue to provide the organisation with some future financial stability. Fortunately, yet again, we have not had to touch the reserve.
The General Manager’s, vehicle running costs and volunteer expenses accounted for the majority of the expenditure this year. The following funding applications, have ensured that a large proportion of the volunteers training and expenses are covered:
| The Scurrah Wainwright Charity | £2,000 |
|---|---|
| Harry Botom Charitable Trust | £3,000 |
| The Arnold Clark Community Fund | £1,000 |
| Newground Together | £ 280 |
| Shefeld City Council (Ward Pot) | £ 500 |
| Mr Peter Warr | £ 100 |
| Shefeld City Council | £2,000 |
| Shefeld Town Trust | £3,000 |
We would like to thank SYPTE and SCT for their continued support with funding through the Service Level Agreement in addition to all of our user groups over the last year who have continued to support and use our services.
We would like to thank the volunteers this year for their hard work, dedication and enthusiasm without whom this service would fail; David & Julia Allison, Peter Bemba, Kevan Brown, Fiona Dewar, Alison James, Richard Marshall, Adam Morley, and more recently Sean Bennett, Jacqueline Newton and Jay Rawson and although it still appears that we have many volunteers which are in the main Passenger Assistants we are therefore still in dire need of Drivers.
Finally, we would like to thank Matthew Herring of Hollis & Co for preparing the 2021/2023 Financial Accounts. If you would like a copy please contact me.

Trustee Biographies
David Brown – Chair
I left City school in 1975 and started work at George Robson and Sons as a Draughtsman. Office life didn't suit me at that time so I left and became a Machine Setter at Presto Tools. From there I went on to be a Welder for over 20 years before becoming a Postman. After 4 years as a 'Postie' I went into IT in around 2005.
Initially I attended various courses gaining the necessary qualifications and secured employment at Dinnington Area Regeneration Trust (DART).
This was in the position of ICT Coordinator/Manager on a 2 year fixed term contract.
The contract finished in June 2007 and I immediately gained employment at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust (RFT), as an IT Technician/Analyst.
Since being there, I have worked my way up to the position of Team Leader of the IT Service desk/1st Line support team and Deputy RA Manager.
I have now been at RFT for 13 years and will hopefully be there for a few more.

I began working in Social Care in 1978 within the old Approved School system moving to disability services in 1986. In the early years I managed an assessment centre for people with a learning disability and, when the legislation changed an City wide team which assessed all school leavers with a disability, including those with a sensory impairment.
I was seconded from my post between 1992 and 1994 to review Social Services transport needs, working with the National Audit Commission. Following s restructure I managed some accommodation, some day care and some social workers before I ended up managing all the learning disability accommodation in the City.
My final job within the Council, before I retired, was a joint appointment with Health as the Commissioning Officer for Disability Services which involved, amongst other things, the production of Annual Development Plans and representing the Authority on a couple of National Working Parties.
I left the Council when my wife became terminally ill and set up my own business as a Disability Consultant. I finally retired about seven years ago.
