OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

Bridge Accessible Transport has provided 34,853 services to support people with reduced mobility to stay independent and participate in local community activities; to access vital health care and social appointments; shopping visits; work placements and employment. Our service is often the only means of transport and hire of mobility equipment for many of our members with restricted mobility.

During the reporting period we carried out the following services:

  1. Door to Door service (Group transport services)

  2. Individual Door to Door service (D.A.T.S)

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

  4. Mobility Equipment hire service (Shopmobility Foyle)

  5. Our Mobility equipment delivery service (Meet & Greet)

  6. Our personal shopper service (Sighted Guiding service)

  7. A zero-emission Electric Minibus Pilot -assessing the long-term environmental benefits of using fully electric vehicles as part of our services.

This has been another challenging year in which we continued to provide socially necessary journeys and faced overwhelming demand for community benefit services. We are reviewing a sustainable funding model that accounts for both growing demand and operational costs.

The dedication of our workforce, volunteers and Management Committee contributed to our success in providing our core services which are door to door accessible transport and a mobility equipment hire service to members this year. These services are widely acknowledged and valued by our members and their families as an essential lifeline in providing transport and mobility hire for those with mobility challenges ensuring people can stay connected to their communities, access GP services, educational facilities, hospital appointments, visit family and friends, and attend day care activities.

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 mobility equipment hire to increase social participation in the community.

Staff have facilitated 27,502 member requests for transport services for the period 2024-25 and completed 24,414 passenger trips.We enrolled 80 new members to our Accessible Transport Services during this financial year.

We provided 10,439 mobility equipment hires for the period through our Shopmobility Foyle service, which included 1,723 mobility scooter hires, 8,140 wheelchairs hires, and 576 rollator assisted hires to our 891 registered members. We enrolled 209 new members during this year.

Our accessible Electric Minibus, with reduced emissions, was launched in October 2022 helping us to reduce our carbon footprint.. We provided 3,097 accessible trips for members this year, who enjoyed the comfort level and the quiet operation of this service.

The success of B.A.T services to date is due to the ongoing financial assistance provided from the Department for Infrastructure (DFI) ("Transport Programme for People with Disabilities").

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

We supply services under Disability Action's Transport scheme (DATS) which operates in and around large towns throughout N.I. and local mobility services by Shopmobility Foyle.

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

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 contributes to an inclusive society by ensuring that people with mobility difficulties can access public areas, it fosters an inclusive society where all individuals are treated equally, regardless of their physical challenges. It sends a message that everyone deserves the same opportunities for participation and enjoyment.

We provide support and pastoral care to people with often high-level complex support requirements. 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 gives members an opportunity to report on the benefits of using our services allowing for feedback again reinforcing how vital our services are to individual members and their families and carers in enabling people to stay independent and have access to key vital services.

The key essential services which delivered the greatest level of support to our passengers included:

Individual person-centred support plan to address passenger transport requirements which included risk assessments and safeguarding protocols to protect their health safety and wellbeing.

Having strong personal relationships with passengers, personal support networks including families and guardians to ensure that our services are responsive to both passengers and those responsible for their care and providing respite for primary carers and family members.

Interaction with and care of passengers who are particularly vulnerable; people with Alzheimer's, Dementia, severe depression, mental health issues, learning disabilities, sight loss and hearing impairments and mobility issues.

Providing mobility aids and equipment to our members as and when the need arises through our new door to door accessible vehicle delivery service; Shopmobility Foyle.

Working and engaging with support groups and agencies including Health & Social Care Trusts, social workers and GP's, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists identifying additional care and support requirements. 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 11 of these financial statements. During the year, incoming resources included £291,847 for Door to Door services from Department for Infrastructure (DfI)/The Disability Action Transport Scheme (DATS) and £29,698 for Shopmobility Foyle services from the Department for Infrastructure (DfI), through the Transport Programme for People with Disabilities (TPPD), which has been used solely for the purposes for which it was provided. £40,836 was received from the Western Health and Social Care Trust for the Assisted Travel Scheme.

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. Considering this, the company has allocated reserves to cover the following costs:

The current fleet of vehicles being operated by the company, comprises eight vehicles and three of these are over eight years old. These vehicles are approaching the end of their operational lives and are expensive to maintain and the company 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 these older vehicles. The anticipated cost of replacing ageing vehicles is estimated to be £130,000 and the company are allocating reserves towards this fund to facilitate the purchase of new vehicles.

FUTURE PLANS

To maintain the company's good governance and quality assurance standards throughout the organisation to provide the socially necessary and essential transport and mobility hire services to the local community.

Bridge Accessible Transport will continue to provide accessible transport services for social and community activities for members from the front door of their home to wherever they want to go within our operating area and removing access barriers for people travelling alone. We will continue to provide mobility hire equipment to people in the community to support their social and community activities.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Bridge Accessible Transport Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

AUDITORS

The auditors, EF McCambridge & Co. Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 27 January 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

Ms Angelina Cooper - Trustee

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 2025 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.

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 8

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.
