1. Overview of the Year to 31[st] March 2026

In the 12 months to 31[st] March 2026, WLBC has become financially stronger and costs continue to be well controlled.

As already mentioned, we undertook 123 rides compared to 100 in 2025.

Regarding motor insurance, we were again fortunate with the deal done with BikeSure, which was cheaper this year.

The sponsorship arrangement meant BikeSure bore the whole cost of £714 (2025: £ 864).

Equipment Costs – Line 9 were £ 68 (2025: £ 1,188)

An HP Inkjet printer was bought as a replacement printer.

3. Surplus / (Deficit) – Line 15

The net result of or activities, taking into consideration all income and expenditure, we ended the year with a Surplus to reserves of £ 5,052 (2025: £ 10,943).

The Net Closing Surplus ( Line 18 ) is £ 17,420 (2025: £ 12,367) carried forward.

4. Cash - Lines 20, 21, 22

The bank accounts add up to £ 19,420 (2025: £ 16,367)

5. Loans - Lines 23

There is one loan in place (2025: 2). The loan of £2,000 (2025: £4,000) is with Keith Lightfoot. The Principal is £8,000, £6,000 repaid. £2,000 remaining. Final repayment of £2,000 in December 2026.

Total - Principal £9,500, £ 7,500 repaid. £ 2,000 remaining,

Cash & Loans together equate to the Reserves carried forward ( Line 24 ) £ 19,420 - £ 2,000 = £17,420 (2025: £ 12,367)

3. Summary & Outlook

WLBC was in a good financial position on 31[st] March 2026.

We have continued to generate funds towards the replacement of our current trike. All of this moves the WLBC forward to provide more rides for sick and disabled clients. This is why we do what we do.
