Objectives and Activities

The purposes of the charity are set out in the Constitution and are to relieve persons resident in the Parish of New Milton and surrounding areas ("the Area of Benefit") who are in need by reason of their age, disability, poor health, social isolation or poverty.

The main activities of the charity are the provision of volunteer transport facilities and related support for health or wellbeing related appointments or local shopping assistance for those who have special need of that provision because they are elderly, disabled, or by reason of poor health or living in isolated areas where there are no public transport facilities, or no affordable private transport.

In the 12 months from January to December 2024, there were 2012 transport trips undertaken, of which ~~182~~ 1842 were for health or well being related appointments. Some 169 booked trips were cancelled by the clients and 116 booked trips were cancelled by the hospitals. In addition, 93 bookings were declined as a result of transport unavailability.
The charity provides access to scarce, unavailable or unaffordable transport, including:
a. collection from and return to home for health or well-being related appointments or local shopping assistance; and
b. support for appointments and shopping by accompanying the beneficiary and remaining with them or returning to collect them.

The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding the activities undertaken by the charity during the year. The trustees are satisfied that the information provided in the report and accounts meets the public benefit reporting requirements.
The service provided is justified on the basis of disadvantage resulting from the beneficiary's characteristics or circumstances. Elderly clients mostly do not drive, have limited fixed income and are often living where there is no public transport. Disabled clients are unable to access public transport and often hospital transport is unavailable at reasonable times or at all. Clients must reside in the area of benefit and may be referred to the organisation by a GP or social services. The organisation has a Policy on Eligibility Assessment, which sets out applicable criteria.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
