Bridge Accessible Transport Limited

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

In furtherance of our aims, our current strategy is to provide the following services:

The company has a wholly owned trading subsidiary, Bridge AT Enterprises Limited, this enterprise was set up on 08/08/2007 to provide contracted Door to Door transport services, training and related services.

We provide a fully guided service, transporting people from their home; places of work; shopping centres; town centre; visiting friends; respite facilities; local technical colleges; garden centres; and to keep medical and health appointments.

Bridge provides accessible transport for regular social and community activities for our members focusing on taking people from their homes to where they want to go and removing access barriers for people travelling alone.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

Bridge Accessible Transport has this year provided services to support people with reduced mobility to stay independent and participate in local community activities; to access vital health care and social appointments; work placements and employment. Our service is often the only means of transport for many people with restricted mobility.

During the reporting period we carried out the following services:

  1. Door to Door service (Group transport service)

  2. Individual Door to Door service (Disability Action Transport Scheme)

  3. Assisted Travel Service (Western Health & Social Services Trust)

  4. Shopmobility Foyle equipment hire service, (Meet and Greet, and Sighted guiding service)

  5. A zero-emission Electric Minibus Project assessing the longer term financial and environmental benefits of using fully electric vehicle on our services.

Late in the year, in early March 2023, Bridge Transport and the N.I. Community Transport Sector again faced continued uncertainty due to the political instability at Stormont, and that funding from DFI may not be guaranteed for 2023-24. This has been a challenging year in which we continued to provide socially necessary journeys for community benefit with an impending funding decrease of 5%.

The flexibility and dedication of the charity's Manager, Office staff, Shopmobility Coordinator, driving staff, volunteers and dedicated Management Committee contributed to the success this year in providing accessible transport and mobility hire services to members.

Staff have facilitated 27,000 member requests for transport services for the period 2022-23 and completed 21,575 passenger trips. The charity currently has 1,431 registered members and 54 registered groups. 69 new members were enrolled to our Accessible Transport Service during this financial period.

The charity provided 12,045 mobility equipment hires for the period through our Shopmobility Foyle service, which included 2,339 mobility scooter hires, 8,761 wheelchairs hires and 945 rollator assisted hires to our 1,331 registered Shopmobility members. 278 new members were enrolled during this financial period.

The charity introduced our zero emission fully accessible Electric Minibus in October 2022. The charity was successful in our bid to the DFI Blue Green Capital Infrastructure Fund to purchase a 9-seater accessible vehicle to add to our fleet. This vehicle is the charity's first pilot vehicle which will be used to assess the longer term financial and environmental benefits of electric vehicles providing door to door services for members use in the charity's catchment area.

The success of BAT to date is due to the ongoing financial assistance provided under The Disability Action's Transport scheme (DATS) which operates in and around large towns throughout N.I. via funding from the Department for Infrastructure (DFI) ("Transport Programme for People with Disabilities").

This vital accessible transport and mobility hire service, which are run for social purposes, not for profit, would not be available without this support.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit

In shaping Bridge Accessible Transports objectives and planning activities, the management Committee and senior staff have considered the Charity Commission NI guidance on public benefit.

Bridge Accessible Transport provides a door to door affordable and accessible transport service for disabled and older people who have complex high level support requirements who find it unreasonably difficult, or do not have access to mainstream transport modes.

We provide support and pastoral care to people with often high-level complex support requirements and would be significantly marginalised and disadvantaged in accessing key services and equitable participation in the community. People who benefit from the essential services offered by Bridge Accessible Transport are very marginalised individuals living in our community; older people with mobility and health issues who need to travel to attend health and social appointments, people with disabilities using wheelchairs who cannot transfer to a vehicle seat, young people with learning disabilities attending day opportunities and work placements, people on low income, women; men; people who are blind or partially sighted looking to get out and about in the city; people living on their own with no access to a car. The term accessible transport goes beyond physical features and adaptations but also relates to the care and support required to address the travel needs of our passengers.

Our annual customer review where members reported on the benefits of using our services again reinforced how vital our services are to individual members and their families/carers to enable people to stay independent and access key vital services.

The review outlined key essential services which delivered the greatest level of support to our passengers including.

Development of individual person-centred support plans to address passenger requirements which included risk assessments and safeguarding protocols to protect their health safety and wellbeing.

Cultivating strong personal relationships with passengers, personal support networks including families, guardians to ensure that our services are responsive to both passengers and those responsible for their care.

Providing respite for primary carers and family members.

Supervision of passengers who are particularly vulnerable as and when required including people with Alzheimer's, Dementia, severe depression, and mental health issues, learning disabilities, sight loss and hearing impairment as well as people with mobility impairments.

Offering referral services to other agencies where other types of care and interventions are necessary, for example staying with people in their own homes while they are waiting on emergency services or require additional support for a variety of reasons.

Providing mobility aids and equipment to our members as and when the need arises through our sister organisation Shopmobility Foyle.

Working with and engaging with other agencies including Health & Social Care Trusts, social workers and GP's, physiotherapists, and Occupational therapists identifying additional care and support requirements that our passengers may have. This is particularly important for passengers who live on their own and have limited or no personal support networks.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The statement of financial activities for the year is presented on page 12 of these financial statements. During the year the principal funder of the charity was the Department for Infrastructure (DFI) through the disability Action Transport Scheme (DATS). Separate funding was received from the Western Health and Social Care Trust for the Assisted Travel Scheme. During the year, capital funding was also received under the DFI Blue / Green Capital Infrastructure fund to assist with the purchase of a fully accessible electric vehicle and charger. Funding was also received for Shopmobility Foyle services from the Department for Infrastructure (DfI), through the Transport Programme for People with Disabilities (TPPD). All grants were used solely for the purposes intended and in accordance with the terms and conditions of grant.

Reserves policy

The charity has conducted a review in relation to its reserves policy. The trustees acknowledge the need for a fund to ensure the financial stability of the charity and have identified several key areas for which reserves should be maintained to cover future costs. These costs would arise in the event of there being a break in the receipt of funding or in the event of cessation of activities of the company. There will also be future capital costs relating to the purchase of new vehicles by the company to update the fleet of vehicles. In light of this, the company has allocated reserves to cover the following costs:

The current fleet of vehicles being operated by the company, comprises seven vehicles and three of these are over six years old. These older vehicles are approaching the end of their operational lives and are expensive to maintain and the charity will undertake to update the fleet over the coming years. For this reason, the company has established a capital fund which will be used to replace two older vehicles. The estimated cost of replacing these ageing vehicles is estimated to be £125,000 and the company are allocating reserves towards this fund to facilitate the purchase of new vehicles.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Bridge Accessible Transport Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Bridge Accessible Transport Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Page 8

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Bridge Accessible Transport Limited

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 9

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Bridge Accessible Transport Limited

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Misstatements can arise

from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

On the basis of our understanding of the legal and regularity framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, we considered the risk of non-compliance and to what extent it might have a material effect on the financial statements. The principal laws and regulations that we determined as being the

most significant are the Companies Act 2006, Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 SORP (FRS 102) “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” and the relevant

UK tax compliance regulations. Our procedures included the following:

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose.
