Addltlonal governance issues {Optional infomwtion)
As a Board of Trustees, we are well aware of the needs of many of the
Charity's seNice users. 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 prO￿sS to stspulate that this, along wth an
enhan￿d DBS certificate. is a requirement to volunteer with the ¢hanty.
Going forward we wll continue to review arKI address training gaps
identified.

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, a￿angIng 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 fu￿1 our objectives as set out
in the Charity's const'tution and follow the Chanty Commission guidance

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.

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

We actively encourage people with additional needs to volunteer with us.
The energy and commitment they bring is invaluable and they too gain

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. Attendan￿S 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 ￿r￿8.
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 v￿S £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 re￿iVed
generous donations from local businesses and SFQrts clubs.

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.

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.

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
