HILLINGDON COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued in 2005.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and does not have a 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 document.

The charitable services provided by the Charity are restricted to the benefit of the residents of the London Borough of Hillingdon. 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. 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 that currently consists of 8 Trustees.

Their role is to oversee the management and day to day running of the company and to ensure that the Charity complies with all of the necessary legal and charitable requirements, with careful monitoring of financial policies and procedures.

HILLINGDON COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Related Parties

The Trustees of the Charity are considered related parties of the Charity. None of the Trustees received remuneration or reimbursement of expenses.

Risk factors

The Trustees have identified the following risks as the main risks that face the Charity. The Charity could not continue to meet its objectives without the support of the London Borough of Hillingdon. The Charity could be faced with a claim against it if a person, or persons, suffered any personal injury or accident while being transported in the Charity’s vehicles. The Charity has obtained public liability and fully comprehensive fleet insurance to ensure that the risk of a claim impacting on the ability of the Charity to continue its operation is mitigated.

The Trustees have set aside an unrestricted reserve of just under £90,000 to provide for unforeseen circumstances as described above and as set out in the reserves policy. The Trustees are also in the process of securing grants for the foreseeable future.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The main objective and activity of the Charity is to provide an affordable and accessible transport service to various social groups within the London Borough of Hillingdon – Group Transport.

ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCE

The Charity continues to provide a valuable service to the residents of the London Borough of Hillingdon. The Charity has a sufficient amount of reserves, which should ensure that the Charity will be able to continue to provide this service for the foreseeable future.

The Charity has ascertained and reviewed Level 1 of the Pqasso Quality Assurance System.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

The current year’s surplus of £34,559 is after charging depreciation of £18,268

Reserve policy

It is the policy of the Charity that we have an unrestricted and undesignated reserve of £100,000. This currently stands at £87,760. This is to, to ensure that the Charity can:

• Maintain sufficient cash flow to allow time for amounts to be received for use of services by members organisations;

• Allow for unplanned repairs or maintenance problems with the fleet of vehicles;

• Allow for late payment of grants and/or other external funding and possible debt problems;

• Provide for potential redundancy costs for core staff resulting from a loss of funding;

• Meet current liabilities in respect of rent, lease agreements and other creditors;

• Provide for legal costs in the event of the Charity being subject to legal action; and Provide for costs in the event of the closure of the project.

Due to the outbreak of Covid 19 we have also put in place a Pandemic Policy. This reflects the risks and responsibilities we face as an organisation

The Trustees have taken into account our reserves and feel we need to increase it to £100,000 to include our Pandemic policy, moving forward into 2022/23.

This will be to consider the possibility of further outbreaks or any other unexpected loss of income. This will on a sliding scale basis as finances allow until that figure is reached.

We are confident that the measures we have put in place, will continue to see us be able to trade as we move forward and take into account any further drops in income.

We have put the reserve and pandemic policy money into a designated bank account and we plan to implement this increase over the next couple of years as finances allow.

The Trustees consider that reserves should be maintained at this level to ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding they will be able to continue the Charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity at the end of the year and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year.

In preparing those accounts, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities has been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HILLINGDON COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022, as set out on pages 7 to 13.

Respective responsibilities of directors and examiner

As described on page 5, the trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention,

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was conducted in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

• which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements

• (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with s386 of the Companies Act 2006: and

• (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met; or

• to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
