OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives, Op&ration8, Oryanisation and Fundlng.
VEST is a company limited by guarantee without share capital and is a registered charity. It is governed by a
Memorandum and Articles of Association that were last amended on 26 September 2013.
The objectives for which the company were fomied are as follows..
The objects ar& to provide a communty transport service for
(a) persons who have a special need of such facillties because they are disabled infirm elderty or by reason of
financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or people with young children.
Ib) young people who have a need of a transport service so that they may take advantage of recreational or
leisure facilities designed to improve thelr conditions of life.
(o) persons living in isolat8d areas where there are no adequate public transport seNices', and
(d) charitable groups.
VEST operates a fleet of specially adapted vehicles providing a "door-to-door transport service to people for
whom the use of conventional public transport presents difficulties due to restricted mobility through illness,
age or disabllity. VEST serves the residents of Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. It operates three services:
Community Transport (CT), Dial-a-Bus and Ring & Ride (DR). CT is the purely charitable element of VEST.
Both the DR services are operated on behalf of the Cardiff and Vale Local Authorities on a net cost recovery
basis.
Communty Transport currently owns and operates five 13 to 12 Joeat) minibuses providlng a scheduled
transport service to Day Centres, clubs and charitable organisations such as the Stroke Association, Age
Concem, the Parkinson's Disease Society and Sight Life Wales. Around these scheduled bookings, and
subject to the availability of vehicles and drivers, it a180 provides a transport facility to registered groups and
individuals wishing to travel to and from any UK destination. Community Transport offers its services every
day of the year.
DR provides two services. Dial-a-Bus operates one large (12 seat) minibus. It is a bwkable, scheduled 'door
to shopping centre and retum, shopping service that runs each day except Sundays. It serves five areas of
Cardiff on two and a half weekdays and the Vale of Glamorgan during the remainder of the week and
Saturdays. Ring & Ride provides a bookable 'door to door, bus service within the City of Cardiff operating from
9:30 to 16.00, Monday to Thursday, 09.30 to 15.30 Friday. It has a fleel of six Smaller minibuses. The DR fleet
of seven vehicles is owned and capitalised by the Local Authorities.
The operation and finances of VEST are Ihe responsibility of the Directors, who are also Trustees under the
Charities Act and hold their posts in an honorary capacity. In shaping the objectives for the year and planning
its activities, the Board has considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit. The Charity
gives careful consideration to ensuring its activities are accessible to all eligible users from all aspects of the
Communty,
Overall day-to4ay operation of VEST is the responsibility of a salaried full-time Operations Manager paid
from cfs funds, to which the Cardiff and Vale local authorities make a 15 % gross salary contribution,
Community Transport is dependent upon trained volunteer driverlcarers to operate its services. At year-end
two administrative staff and eight full-time driverslcarers were employed on the provlsion of the DR seNices.
These staff are paid directly on an agency basis by the local authorities. This sum does not go through th&
VEST accounts but is quoted in the published accounts to satisfy the Charity Ccmmission's SORP
requirements. In total 11 full time paid staff were employed by VEST during the year.
The main sources of funding for Community Transport are fares, grants from Cardiff County Council Adult
Sewices Department, a bus services support grant, the local authority's manager's salary contribution,
donations, fund raising activities and interest on Community Transporvs resetves.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Review of actlvltles and future developm8nts
2023124 was our seventeenth full year at our Portmanmoor site. In November 2011, November 2016 and April
2021 we negotiated an extension of our 5-year lease on this site with our current landlord.
The Covid-19 pandemic seriously disrupted services during the previous year and setvices were steadily
returning to more normal levels during 2023124.
Overall, during 2023124 we received 20,712 requests for sew1￿ (down from 21,205 the previous year), of
which the customers subsequently cancelled 1,944 (down from 2,167). We were unable to service 2,431
requests due to the unavailability of a vehicle or driver 8t the date and time required, so that we serviced
16,337 requests. Overall, during the year, we satisfied 87.0 % of demand. carried 21,690 passengers and the
fleet covered 134,108 miles,
Each year Community Transport (CT) needs to make a surplus of income over expenditure before vehicle
depreciation of about £SOk to service the vehicle replacement reserve. The current state of this reserve is
satisfactory. Vehicles are replaced only when their reliability begins to Gause concern. Two CT large minibus
has been replaced by sma118r vehicles to meet a noticeable change in the size of groups. The council have
loaned DR with 2 electric taxi-style vehicles pending replacement of older minibuses.
There has been a fall in donations during the year to £2,495 (from £3,717). Fares income rose to a billed
amount of £16,696 (from £15,977}. The net result of all this is that CT had a surplus of income over
expenditure of £6,093.
Cardiff Council Adult services grant continues and CT had a grant to cover vehiGle improvements. We have
I￿en advised that some funding for BSSG will continue to be forthcoming.
Recorded data for VESTS safety statistics confirm no signific2nt change in standards for the year, as in
previous reporting periods, all incidents and accidents, were investigated as a matter of routine, and were of a
minor nature. Focussed driver training is key to sustaining safety standards. Prior to being allowed to drive
fleet vehicles, all drivers whether volunteers or permanent stsff - undergo training in compliance with the
Minibus Driver Awareness Schenie (MIDAS) which has been developed by the Community Transport
Association {CTA) and is nationally recognised and designed to enhan￿ minibus driving standards and
promote safer operations.
Some marketing activities have been introduced to make the public at large more aware of the services we
provide and how they can benefit from them. Our old web site has been replaced by a modern one with
up-to-date articles and descriptions of our aGtivities and we maintain an active social media presence.
The composition of the Board has changed. Ceri Witchard has assumed the appointment as ChaiEperson,
Hugh Edney has resigned, and Rebecca Villis has assumed the role of Secretary, Roger Brown and Peter
Jones have joined the board. Roger Brown has completed a nationally recognised Health & Safety course to
assume responsibility as VEST'S Health & Safety Co-ordinator
We are deeply indebted to our volunteers., without their excellent conts'ibution the Community Transporl
service could not operate. Our sincere thanks are also due to our Operations Manager, Richard Davies, our
administration staff and drivers for their hard work and outstanding commitment in providing these widely
appreciated services. Richard has introduced rnany new systems irnproving efficiency, training and statutory
procedures,
There are no restricted funds,
