Ride On - Cycling for All
Trustees Report
2024125 continued to be a year of growth for Ride On. Despite challenges across the
wider cycling industry, demand for high-quality refurbished bikes remained strong. The
effects of inflation have made life increasingly difficult for many. so we worked hard to
keep our bikes affordable while increasing supply.
During the year. we refurbished 784 bikes, including 173 children's bikes. We also made
better use of donated bikes requiring more extensive restoration, finding new owners
for a further 109 bikes through our partnerships and individual referrals.
With the conclusion of the Bike Bank project in the previous year, we saw an overall
reduction in our training and outTeach activity. In response, we introduced a programme
of commercial training and delivered several Dr Bike events. providing free safety
checks to members of the public.
Our popular Bring Your Own Bike (8YOB) sessions continued to thrive, and we expanded
the offer to include Sunday mornings to ensure more people could access our
workshop. affordable parts, and friendly advice.
We also launched a new project funded by Live and Move, building on the success of
our earlier work in St James. This initiative aimed to engage new communities through
a partnership with St Sidwell's Community Centre, where we set up a pop-up bike
workshop above their community bakery. Participants received a free bike, hands-on
maintenance training, and on-road cycling sessions through Active Devon's network.
The project proved to be a real success. bringing meaningful and lasting benefits to the
participants who now use their bikes to travel more independently and confidently.
One of our longest standing volunteers, Adrian, was awarded Volunteer of the Year by
Exeter Sustainability awards in recognition of his 9 years of weekly volunteering. This
year he has been joined by a large number of new volunteers. To help support their
development. we also developed a Volunteer Progression Programme that we're rolling
out.
Financially, we strengthened our position by implementing our Gift Aid process, which
now makes a meaningful contribution to our income by allowing us to reclaim tax on
donated bikes. Combined with increases in bike sales and fundraising activity, this
helped us raise our total unrestricted reserves to £135,341 by year end (up from
£100,805 last year).

Towards the end of the financial year, Will Page, our Head of Charity, announced his
decision to step down from his role. On behalf of the team, trustees, and the wider Ride
On community, we thank Will for his time, leadership, and commitment to the charity
over the years.
Following his departure, Sam White stepped up as Interim Head of Charity before being
appointed permanently in September 2025. Having first joined Ride On as a volunteer
ten years ago, Sam has since held several key positions within the organisation.
including Mechanic, Workshop Manager, and most recently. Training and Outreach
Manager.
Importantly, the Trustees and staff took some time to revisit and refresh our overall
strategy. We recommitted ourselves to empowering people with confidence and new
skills. building a welcoming community and spreading the joy of cycling. Refurbishing
bikes will remain the core of Ride On's work and we intend to grow our outreach work
like the women's workshop, BYOB and developing more school work.
We welcomed a number of new trustees to the team. We are also grateful to those
trustees stepping down this year for the time and energy they have given to Ride On -
Nic Eversett, lan Martin.
Looking ahead, the charity remains focused on strengthening its community impact.
improving our impact measurement. and will be exploring opportunities to secure a
long-term, sustainable premises for our work in Exeter.
Structure and Governance
The Trustees are presenting their report and financial statements for the Charitable
Incorporated Organisation (CIO), charity number 1174055.The charity uses Xero for
management accounting purposes, an online cloud-based accounting software, under
the guidance of Thompson Jenner LLP.
Ride On is managed by its board of trustees, who meet at least six times each year.

Objectives and Activities
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the
guidance on public benefit published by the Charities Commission. The trustees are
confident that the aims and objectives of the charity deliver clear benefits to the public.
These benefits include:
Collecting unwanted bikes, refurbishing them and donating them to local
community and voluntary groups. and to those on state benefits who cannot
purchase a bike.
Promoting the conservation, preservation and protection of the environment by
recycling and reducing waste from the workshop operation.
Supporting "on bike" cycle training for people aged 3 years upwards.
Developing community cycling groups who will then go on to be self-supporting.
Offering bike maintenance courses and education schemes across the full age
spectrum.

support, to deliver restorative justice programmes in cycle maintenance,
recycling and refurbishment
Creating community cycle workshops where any member of community can
recycle, build. repair, customise bikes, with those receiving benefits accessing
most elements for little or no charge

clubs & groups.
Providing access to and training on 'AII Ability. bikes, trikes and recumbents

Reserves
As at 31 March 2025, the charity held Unrestricted reserves of £135,341 (2024:
£100,805) to be used to further the charity's objectives. The Trustees monitor the level
of reseTves to ensure this remains appropriate for the charity.
Ride On aims to have six months of income in our reserves. This is so we can cope with
the loss of trading if we have to relocate from our current site, so that we can afford to
keep operating in the event of a downturn and if there's an emergency or other critical
event.
