**HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

The Trustees, who are also Directors of the company, submit their Report and the audited Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.  The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005) issued in March 2005 in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Charity. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and does not have share capital. The funds received from grants and trading activities are mostly unrestricted and may be used in the furtherance of the Charity’s objectives in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity’s governing documents. 

The charitable services provided by the Charity are for the benefit of residents and social/ethnic groups in the London Borough of Hounslow and surrounding areas. 

A Trustee must not receive any payment of money or other material benefit (whether direct or indirect) from the Charity except as provided for in the Memorandum of Association eg for reasonable traveling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings or otherwise in connection with the discharge of their duties. The Charity has the power to make any investment, which the Trustees see fit, but only after obtaining advice from a financial expert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification. 

The company is controlled by a Management Committee elected from the Charity’s membership and in 2024/25 consisted of the Trustees and two other members. 

The role of the Management Committee is to oversee the overall management of the company and to ensure that the Charity complies with all of the necessary legal and charitable requirements, with appropriate monitoring of financial policies and procedures. 

The Trustees who served during 2024/25 were: 

Bernard Robson John Stephens Lorna Stephens 

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute up to £1 in the event of a winding up. 

New Trustees are nominated by the membership for election at each of the Charity’s Annual General Meetings. Persons co-opted by the Management Committee normally serve a probationary period before being put up for election as a Trustee. 

The Trustees have examined the major risks which the Charity faces and seek to control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the Charity. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objectives of the Charity are to provide the following services to individuals and social/ethnic groups within the London Borough of Hounslow and surrounding areas: 

## **Minibus Hire Service** 

The Charity provides safe, accessible and affordable transport to individuals and social/ethnic groups of every kind in the London Borough of Hounslow and surrounding areas. The Charity makes a meaningful contribution to reducing social exclusion and increasing access across Hounslow and places beyond that residents wish to visit. Most of the minibuses in the fleet are wheelchair accessible. The Charity provides opportunities for young 



**HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

offenders in Hounslow to undertake community service by providing appropriate and worthwhile tasks for them to undertake. 

## **Furniture Recycling Project** 

The Charity runs the Furniture Recycling Project which provides good quality furniture and household appliances on a low cost basis to residents in the London Borough of Hounslow and surrounding areas that are considered to be in need and who have been confirmed as such by eg Social Services, the London Borough of Hounslow Homeless Persons Unit, local charities and church welfare groups. In addition, the Charity, in conjunction with the Hounslow Probation Service and other similar services, provides opportunities for people to undertake community service working for the project. 

## **Shopmobility** 

The Charity runs the Shopmobility service in the London Borough of Hounslow, providing a range of batterypowered scooters and wheelchairs that can be hired at affordable prices by residents of the borough and visitors of all ages with mobility problems and thereby provide for them access that they would not necessarily have had to central Hounslow for shopping and other visits. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

From the start of 2024/25, discussions on the future of the Charity were undertaken by the Management Committee as the financial projections indicated very clearly that the prospect of operating at a surplus in the future were very unlikely. 

At a specially convened meeting of the Management Committee on 3[rd] February 2025 the decision was made, after a lengthy discussion, to close all the services manages by the Charity with a target date of 31[st] March 2025. 

The target date was achieved, with the office premises at Montague Road and the Furniture Recycling Project premises both being vacated by the end of June 2025. The Shopmobility premises at the Blenheim Centre will be vacated, in line with the six month notice period, at the end of September 2025. 

The future of the Charity will be subject of discussion by the Management Committee later in 2025. The balance of the funds held but the Charity when all assets have been sold should be £80k. 

The Furniture Recycling Project achieved a turnover of £241.8in 2024/25 which is 4.58% less than the previous year. The Minibus Hire Service achieved a turnover of £91.2k in 2024/25, a decrease of 7.92% on the previous year. 

Shopmobility had very few scooter and wheelchair bookings during 2024/25. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Details of the financial performance for 2024/25 are set out on pages 6 to 16. The Charity incurred a deficit of £89.9k for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

The principal source of funding for the Charity in 2024/25 was the revenue received from the contract with the London Borough of Hounslow. The tender documents for the new contract starting 1[st] April 2025 are due to be received in the autumn. 

## **RESERVE POLICY** 

It is the policy of the Charity that an unrestricted and undesignated reserve should be maintained at a level of at least £45k to ensure that the Charity can: 



**HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

- Maintain sufficient cash flow to allow time for payments to be received for use of the Charity’s services. 

- Allow for unplanned repairs or maintenance problems with the Charity’s fleet of vehicles. 

- Allow for the late payment of grants and other external funding and possible debt problems. 

- Meet current liabilities in respect of rent, lease agreements and other creditors. 

- Provide for potential redundancy costs and long-term sickness. 

The Trustees consider that reserves should be maintained at this level to ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, the Charity will be able to continue its current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserve required by the Charity is reviewed on an annual basis. 

## **DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

Company law requires the Directors to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity at the end of the year. 

In preparing those Financial Statements, the Directors are required to select suitable accounting policies, as described on page 8-9, and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgments and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The Directors must also prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue with its charitable objectives. 

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 1985.  The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS** 

A resolution to appoint LFM as independent examiners for the ensuing year will be proposed at the Management Committee meeting held in August 2024 in accordance with Section 385 of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **SMALL COMPANY EXEMPTIONS** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part VII of the Companies Act 1985. 

This report was approved by order of the Board on                 and signed on its behalf by: 

## ------------------------ **John Stephens – Trustee and Company Secretary** 



**HOUNSLOW COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the Accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 16. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Charity Trustees of the company (and also its Directors for the purposes of Company Law) you are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the Accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for Independent Examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies in Section 145 of the 2011 act. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act 

2. The accounts do not accord with those records 

3. The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an Independent Examination 

4. The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
