LIVERPOOL COMMUNITYTRANSPORT LIMITED COUNCIL'S REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 FlnanGial review The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. The surplus for the year was £7.186 {2023 £61,712). At the year end the charity had net assets of£210.000 (2023 . £202.814). There were no restricted funds at the period end. Reserves policy It is the policy of Ihe charitable company that unrestricted funds vthich have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to bel￿een three and six month's expenditu￿. The Council of Management Gonsiders that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drcp in funding. they will be able to continue the charitsble company's current activitses while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The trustees re(wnise that the level of free reserves need to be increased and are reviewing options to improve the position. Principal risks and uncertainties The Council have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The principal risks are considered to be: Loss of SEN school contracts which are subject to ￿ular tender processes Fluctuations in fuel prices Competition from altemative transport providers Plans for future periods As the continuance of community transport is essential for many groups. schools and organisations across Ihe city, the management committee consider it a priority to maintain the subsidy of community transport as a whole during these uncertain economic times. This Gan be achieved through the furthefance and development of our already established MOT testing bay which continues to be a fundamental plan for the future. The management committee consider this to be integral in the organisation's work in challenging exdusion in today's economic dimat8. We aim to build upon further support that is also available to groups in temis of our maintenance and repair service. The broadening of this long standing, essential part of our provision would grealy benefit numerous groups, schools & organisations citywide. We plan to continue to market the services we provide across the city through various publicity material. tsrgeting non-members. current members and members of the public with the aim of expanding our customer base. An additional aim for the future is focusing on increasing the number of SEN school contracts over the forthcoming year. With our City Council school contracts now well eslablished, we will endeavour to secure additional contracts with the City Council and in neighbouring boroughs should thè opportunity arise. The management committee look forward to another productive year and would like to thank the Operational Transport Manager, staff and volunteers for working hard on behalf of the organisation.
