Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
Objectives and activities (continued)
The charity's main activities
The purpose of the charity is to provide access to adapted and non-adapted bikes to cycle in a safe and secure environment and to provide various cycling programmes and sessions for people to improve their health and wellbeing through cycling.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit the advancement of peoples health and well being both physically and mentally.
Achievements and performance
Streetbikes has supported frontline workers, disabled people whether seen or unseen and people in financial deprivation, from all backgrounds to keep a positive mental health through the vehicle of cycling recovering from the pandemic.
We have helped asylum seekers and new people to this country keep mobile through gifting recycled bikes. This has also helped families integrate into communities
Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £25,500, including net expenditure of £43,013 on unrestricted funds and net income of £17,513 on restricted funds.
During the year we have reduced our expenditure where possible, wages, our biggest cost, reduced due to staff changes, this meant day to day running remained intact but reduced time spent on income generation namely funding applications and other income generation streams. During next year, this will be addressed and a staff restructure will create a role to specifically generate income and we aim to generate income to cover the majority of our costs.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £64,033.
Streetbikes reserves policy aims to balance spending the maximum amount of income raised whilst maintaining the minimum level of reserves to ensure uninterrupted operation and provide time to adjust to changes in financial circumstances. Trustees take a risk-based approach reviewing levels of reserves annually to ensure changes are managed on a timely basis.
The Board of Trustees will review the reserves policy on an annual basis and will ensure that any under or over provision is managed appropriately. Trustees will also review reserves if they drop under £60,000 or go over £120,000.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
