Mummary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year			This project has been in existence since 2014. Itwas initially run by the Local Authority but become a charity in February 2019.We have now recovered fully from the COVID19 restrictions running both our Monday
			morning open sessions and, during BST,open sessions on Monday
			evenings. We saw a growth of over 40% in the number ofservice user
			contacts and the number ofopen sessions compared with the previous
			year. There were over 1500 service user contacts during 2022, supported
			by the growing popularity ofthe sessions we now run through the winter
			months.
			Whilst we continue to work with the local authority to expand our service
			to other locations limited progress has been made as they are still to
			secure the necessary funds to fully develop their plans. We did, however,
			support the launch of cycling hubs throughout the borough by
			demonstrating some of our adapted cycles.
			We have also run some sessions at a local school whose pupils were
			unable to come to Tudor Grange. This builds upon the work started in
			2021 and is very successful, but remains dependent on the efforts of
			Lydia and Paul Robinson. Our plan for the coming years is to expand	this
			work further and, to support the additional travel 8 insurance costs
			involved, we have applied for lottery funding. Preparing the bid took a
			great deal ofeffort and focus from the trustees during 2022. We are
			hopeful our application will be successful and funding will be granted
			early 2023. This would allow us to accelerate our plans significantly
			through additional equipment appropriate to schools and elderly riders.		It
			would also mean that we could refine the contract with our Project Lead,
			Lydia Robinson, to a guaranteed number of hours each week rather than
			the existing zero hours arrangement to cope with the additional
			organisation and administration ofsessions in the community. Further	we
			would invest more funds in volunteer training.
			A second initiative to deliver community sessions was to merge with
			another local charity, the Solihull chapter of Cycling Without Age (CWA).
			Their mission was to provide accessible cycling sessions at care 8
			residential homes across the borough but, owing to the COVID19
			restrictions, they were unable to launch. Through discussions between
			the charities, it was agreed that Solihull Wheels for All (SWFA) has more
			resources to deliver this service, consequently the Solihull chapter of
			CWA was wound up and its assets transferred to SWFA.
			We continually review the range of bicycles available and actively seek
			new machines to ensure our fleet matches the requirements ofthe
			service users. During 2022 we raised funds to purchase two new Tomcat
			tricycles, due for delivery early 2023, as our existing machine is very
			popular. We also acquired two electric bikes which was a major initiative
			for 2022.
			Support to restart following the pandemic was provided by the Cycling
			Projects charity through funding our annual insurance and maintenance
			costs through a one-off grant.
			With the income from our service users and donations the charity
			remains in a good position financially. During 2022 our income was
			f22,609 with expenditure off18,589 giving us a nett income ofE4,020.
			The surplus was as a result ofthree major income streams, however,
			including a donation off3700 from Vodafone 8 Solihull CC, f3000 from
			Cycling Projects and a transfer off3000 from CWA. These are one-off
			donations so fund-raising during 2023 will be key.
