Consequerrtly, we aim to ensure that each session is run by an experienced lead instructor and that volunteers are DBS thecked. Towards the end of 2024 we carried out an audrt of volunteers and have ckjsed out any DBS gaps. During 2025 we have ensured thal all volunteer5 are up to date with safeguarding training and have reviewed the volunteer induction prOsS to stspulate that this, along wth an enhand DBS certificate. is a requirement to volunteer with the ¢hanty. Going forward we wll continue to review arKI address training gaps identified.

We continue to enjoy signfficant additional funding from Ihe National Lottery Communty Fund {NLCF). In 2025 we agreed wrth the NLCF that the project length will be extended from three to four years to 2027, albett with the same funding. The charity generates significant income through its ath'vities and addrtF-onal fundin rtunities are bein ursued. Section C Ob"ectives and activities To promote communrty invofvement in hearthy recreats'on through yding for the benefrt of those living or working within Solihull and surrounding areas. We aim to support people to increase their participation in society and by enabling social inclusion. We support people of all abilities and ages to adopt healthier lrfestyles to improve their quality of lite. Summary of th¢ objects of the charlty set out In its governing document TAR arch 2012
The main obJ"ective of Solihull Wheels for Atl chaiity is to provide accessible cyding with maximum inclusivty. The Charity has a range of bicycles and adapted tricycles that allow everyone to become involved in cycling session, whether or not they have a physical or leaming disabilty and of any age (our age range is from 3 to 98 years). A high proportion of our Servi users lÈve in deprived areas of the Borough. Our volunteers help the service users to cycle in safety, often supported by their carers or family members. We work with ott)er instibjtions including day ntre$, schools for adults and thildren, old peoples. IK)mes and care homes. We also engage wtth other charities in the local area erther through welcoming their clients to our open sessions or. where requested, aangIng private sessions specffically for the dients of the particular charity Amongst others we work wrth SENSE, for people wrth impaired sight and hearing, the Family Care Trust, Rose Cottage Day Care Centre and SOLO, an organisation the enables thildren, young people & adults wtth leaming disabilrties to enjoy social & leisure ac*ivitEs. Our inclusive sessions enable people with or withoLrt disabilities to ride together in a safe shettered environment and be treated equally. This enables familles wth a disabled member to cyde together and is often the only activty they can do as a family group. We also aim to reduo social isolation for people and help to remove barriers between groups of our clients who may find making friendships dtfficuY( as a resum of disabilrty. merrtal health issues or just general loneliness. Further we encourage carers who attend on a regular basis to talk to one another, often forging friendships and gaining support that continues outside the sessions. We aim not to exclude anyone based on physical, leaming or b8hawoural difficutties. A key objective over the life of our National Lottery funded projeGI is to expand the Sep41 to offer sessions in the communty rather than just at our base at the Tudor Grange Leisure Centre. We continue to run monthly sessions at North Solihull leisure ntre as well as Merstone School. We hope to expand these off-site activities over the year, depending on volunteer availabilty. Outside of the chaiity nm sessions we also have loaned tricycles to various bike-ability schemes and providers in the area to allow children who would otherwise be exduded to partiapate in their ath'vities. We, the trustees. have taken great Care to fu1 our objectives as set out in the Charity's const'tution and follow the Chanty Commission guidance on U1C benefiL Summary ofthe main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory deGlaration that trusteès have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefrt) Addltional detalls of objectives and activities Ioptlonal infomiationl TAR Marth 2012
Volunteers The Charity is grateful for the hard wort and enthusiasm of its volunteers who freely give hours of their time to supporting the cycling sessions. The Chanty has a range of bicyc, many specially adapted for physical disabilitses and mental health issues. induding wheelchair transporter5, hand cranked kncydes arKI two seat '¢yde$ that allow a carèr or volunteer to nde wth the service user. As each service user is unique it is sometimes necessary to adapt a machine to meet their individual needs, this is done in consultab.on wtlh the cjient and carer using the skills of the trusl88s arKI volunteers. You may Ghoose to include further statements, where relevant, about.. policy on grantmang. policy programme related investmerrt., contribution made by volunteers. Many of the volunteers tenefft through their work with the charty including through working as part of the team which provides social inclusion and, often, the opportunrty to use their skills perhaps acquired through many years Won9. 11 is ¢riti¢21 to r fuiure plans that we are able to recruit more volunteers. To this end we continue to work with local groups & cycling clubs, recruit by word of mouth and are adNely see.ng other recruitment opportunibes. We actively encourage people with additional needs to volunteer with us. The energy and commitment they bring is invaluable and they too gain the skills reviousl mentioned on teamwork and social inclusion. TAR Marth 2012
Section D Achievements and performance This project has been in existence since 2014. It was initially Nn by the Local Aulhortty but become a charity in February 2019. le have continued to run Monday & Wednesday moming open sessions and, during BST, on Monday evenings. These sessions are open to all, with the moming sessions running year-round (subject to the weather). Attendano growth at 'open' sessions in 2025 slowed considerably versus the number of Servi user contacts in the prior year. The 2025 figure was 2608 against 2546 in 2024, a 2% increase This compares with previous reports which tYFMcally saw growth nearer 10% year over year. Including carers arKI family members, however, we saw an overall growth in attendances of 6% compared wrth 2024. from 4478 to 4740. There were a number factors underlying these figures. the most significant of which was the closure for over two months of running track we use at Tudor Grange leisure ontre. Excluding the months affected by the closure (July to September) presents a very different picture with the number of service user contacts increasing from 1766 to 2411 (+37%) and in total contacts including carers from 3131 to 4396 (+40°A). This was demonstrated by record attermlances at some sessions with over 100 people attending. We attempted to offset the impact of the track closure by seeking other locations, unfortunately wtthout success, and by running off-srte sessions for particular groups of service users. In 2025 Y also increased the number of private sessions including off- site at both Merstone School and North Solihull Leisure Centre (NSSC) as well as at Tudor Grange. AttendanS at pnvale sessions were up dramatically against 2024 from 82 to 370 (450%). This is despite a separate track dosure at NSSC for the last three months of 2025. Our Project Coordinator, Joe Read has played a significant role in managing these disruptions and in liaising with other local groups and harities which has contributed to the growth (outside the track closure period). Examples indude the Famity Care Trust arKJ Rose Cottage day care r8. Summary ofthe main achievements of the charity durlng the year Volunteer number remain a constraint. During 2025 vft recruit8d 5 new volunteers but lost 2 owing to other commitmenls, personal or health issues. We continually review the range of bicycles available and purchase new machines to ensure our fleet matches the requirements of the service users. Specrfically in the year y purchased an electrically assisted wheelchair carrier to help carers pedal wheelchair users, hvo Tomcat tncycles and acquired two Theraplay tricydes designed to allow people living wth cErebral palsy to ride. In the year we have introduced a quarterfy newsletter to improve engagement wrth the volunteer5 and to use as a 'marketing' tool to illustrate what we do. During 2025 our income vS £53,441, induding money from the lottery grant. with expenditure of £43,476 grving us a nett receipt of £9,465. The charrty's funds remain healthy at £54.214. We continued our relationship wtth Cyclists FNJhting Cancer, donating bikes which we no longer require to them, and with Solihull Cycling Club who ran a number of fund-raising events with us. We also reiVed generous donations from local businesses and SFQrts clubs. TAR Marth 2012
Section E Financial review The charity aims to hokl the equNalent of 610 9 months operating costs in reserve to meet the costs of facility hire and the Project Coordinator should we have no funding. To this end we opened a saving account in 2024 to hold the necessary fijnds. The treasurer manages the allocation of funds betsveen the current and savings account to best meet the needs of the charity and in¢reased the balan in the savings account during 2025. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Details of any fvnd$ materially In deflclt Further financlal review detalls Ioptlonal Infomiation) The Charity is mainly financed by session fees and the grant from the National Lottery. We also run fund raising activtlies throughout the year, induding two in partnership with Solihull Cycling Club. Further SLSPPOrt is provided by donations from other local charities, local businesses and individuals or through applications to grant providers We are graleful for this support wrthout which we would not be able to run our sessions. We use the money raised to maintain and upgrade the fleet of bicycles, to provide insurance for the riders, and to pay the costs of sessions such as track hire and instructor costs. You may choose to include additional infonnation. where relevant about.. the charity's principal sources of funds (induding any fundraising)., how expenditure has supported the key oty'e¢tives of the charity- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Bikes no longer needed have been donated to another charity, Cyclists Fighting Cancer, who renovate them before donating them to Children suffering from cancer, or to their families. We believe this is a worthy cause and a sustsinable way of reusing such bi¢ydes. We have also donated bikes to other Itheels for All rou Section F Other optional information In 2025 we were nominated as the local Communty Champions by Everyone Aciiv8 in recognition of the 'amazing work and impact Solihull Wheels For All has on the communty" and have been invited to their National Awards day in February 2026.
