## **Chatterbus CIO** 

Charity Number 1173907 

**Chairman’s Statement and Trustee Report for the year to 31[st] March 2024** 

The Chatterbus has been operating the C1 and the C2 services for nine years in and around Cobham. 

The C3 service was started in 2022 to provide better flexibility/ regularity and to allow us to expand our school bus service. The running of the C3 cross-benefits the existing services by: 

1. Increased revenues to support other routes, 

2. Increased reliability and utility to passengers, and 

3. Expansion to cover essential local amenities such as the Cobham Health centre which was previously very poorly served by public transport. 

Bus fare revenues have increased compared to last year by 29% to £103,313, predominantly due to an expanded school bus service but also higher passenger numbers during the day. The Cobham Free School service from Oxshott and Stoke D’Abernon to the school has become an important part of our offering. 

Our donors and sponsors continue to be generous, with £73,069 (£81,642) donated in the year, a 11% reduction. We are indebted to all our current sponsors and greatly appreciate their support. I’d also like to thank our two local authorities, Elmbridge and Surrey for both their financial contributions and their confidence in us. 

The bus operating costs were slightly higher compared to prior year (£177,422 vs 161,656 in 2023) due to additional hire costs when a bus was undergoing repairs. 

Our net loss of £1,040 (vs PY gain of £232) for the year ended March 2024 means that our reserves now stand at £23,221 (PY: £24,261). Our reserves remain important to cope with extraordinary and unforeseen events such as the pandemic – we hope to generate larger surpluses next year to provide a larger contingency fund for future unforeseen events or expansions. 

The ticket machines provide detailed information on passenger needs and we have amended our timetables accordingly. Combined with the second bus the service is now more regular and useful for passengers. Our drivers continue to provide excellent customer service and as the public face of the Chatterbus they are key to the Chatterbus’ friendly and punctual service, and I should like to take this opportunity to thank them for their commitment to our service and our values. As well as our drivers, I should like to thank the team at East Surrey Rural Transport Partnership, led by Marcus Dode its CEO, for the excellent service they provide for us and for their flexibility. 

As a charity we are very conscious of our commitment to the local community and in 2019 we launched our own Chatterbus Concession card. This is for those passengers who wish to use the bus but cannot afford the fares and who are not eligible for existing Government or local authority concessions. In response to the war in Ukraine, we extended these concession cards to cover Ukrainian refugees to support their integration into our communities. Some 5% of passenger journeys have

been taken using this concession over that period and I should like to thank the Cobham Foodbank and our local churches for their help in this initiative. 

Support from local community organisations is especially important to us, the Cobham and Downside Residents Association, Cobham Heritage Trust and Cobham Garden Club have supported us, and we thank them. Contributions from these organisations and others went to fund the bus and the concession scheme. 

I should also like to thank all our business supporters whether they advertise inside or outside the bus or just give us donations to “keep the wheels of the bus going round”. 

I should like to thank all the volunteers, and all those generous friends and members of the public who have donated to the charity throughout the year. I should also like to thank all our Board of Directors who give of their time selflessly to make this Bus service so successful. 

The need to always find new sponsors and advertisers and our other risks including operational risks are considered regularly by our Risk Committee which reports to our Board at its appropriate quarterly meetings. 

Looking forward to next year, with the help and support of Surrey County Council and Elmbridge Borough Council we will be operating a fully electric bus – to meet the ongoing and pressing need for our society to tread more lightly on the world. Public transport is a more sustainable way of travelling and we believe the buses will add to the contribution that the Chatterbus makes in this arena but also be more attractive to a wider group of users. 

Sir Gerald Acher CBE LVO Chairman 

Constitution and governance 

The Charity is set up as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) under a CIO Foundation Trust Deed registered on 24 July 2017. 

The purpose of the charity is to provide transport facilities in North Surrey and surrounding area for people who have special need of such facilities because they are elderly, poor or disabled, people with young children or those living in isolated areas where there are no adequate public transport facilities. 

The Chatterbus CIO is aiming to build up reserves to maintain an uninterrupted service for its beneficiaries and has net assets at the 31st March 2024 of £23,221. Supporters of the Chatterbus have committed funds for several years. However, the charity is also reliant on fundraising and short-term grants from sponsors. 

The Trustee Board members are all volunteers and new Trustee Board members are approved by the existing Board. The Board are aware of and have due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Board and other volunteers contribute to the marketing, timetables and general administration of the Chatterbus including oversight of the bus operator.

> **Report to the trustees/ Chatterbus CIO members of On accounts for the year 31 March 2024 Charity no 1173907 ended Set out on pages 6 to 19** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **31 / 03 / 2024** . **Responsibilities and basis of** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in **report** accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent examiner's** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come **statement** to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.  Any Gift Aid amount **Tax reclaims** recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that **on donations** gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the **and gifts** initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has **performance** provided the related goods or services or met the **related** performance related conditions. **grants** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount **Donated** for which the asset could be exchanged) unless **goods** impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.  In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.  On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. **Donated** Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA **services and** when received at the value of the gift to the charity **facilities** provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. **Support** The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. **costs** The value of any voluntary help received is not included **Volunteer** in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual **help** report.

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any **Debtors** trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date **Current asset** less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash **investments** equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
