|Summary of the|main|During|the year RoMICTS|undertook|more than|600|trips|for|residents|and|
|achievements of the|charity|visitors|to south-west|Mull|and|lona.|The|key|reasons|for these journeys|(more|
|during|the|financial|period|than|100|trips|each) were:|
|e|Attending|medical|appointments|(including|to|hospitals|at|Craignure,|
|Oban|and|Glasgow)|and|delivery|of NHS|prescriptions|
|e|Attending|social|events,|including|the|Library,|Book|Bugs,|Older|
|people's|lunch,|ceilidhs,|and|community|events|
|e|Shopping|trips|or|delivering|shopping|to|the|housebound|
|e|Getting|to|work,|school,|or accessing|ferries|or|other|public|transport|
|We were|also|used|by|a|smaller|number of tourists|and|visitors|to our area.|
|Our|electric|bus|has|been|used|by|residents|to|transport|their own|groups,|
|including|children|attending|music|or sports|events,|people|attending|church|
|services|or|other|events|or|transporting|family and|visitors.|
|RoMICTS|had|previously|run|a|monthly|community|café on|the|Ross,|which was|
|much|appreciated|as a|social|event|for|residents and|acted|as a|fundraising|
|event for our work.|Unfortunately,|we were|unable|to|find a|new|volunteer willing|
|to take on|organising|these,|and|so these|came|to an|end.|Our|fundraising|has|
|instead|successfully|concentrated|on|applying|for grants to fund|the shortfall|not|
|covered|by|user and|community|donations.|
|As|part|of our commitment|to|reducing|greenhouse|gas|emissions,|we were|
|able|to get|funding|for an|electric vehicle|charger to|be|installed|at Creich|
|Community|Hall.|This|has|made charging|our own|EV|easier,|whilst|increasing|
|the|availability|of public charging|spaces|for|residents|and|visitors|alike.|This|is|
|also expected|to|produce|a|small|net income|for the|charity|over|the|next few|
|years.|
|Brief statement of the charity’s|policy|||RoMICTS|holds|reserves to cover the following:|
|on|reserves|e|Restricted|funds which|are|held|to|be spent according|to the|
|restrictions|applying|to|their grant;|
|e|General|reserves|to|cover unexpected|costs,|such|as|major|
|repairs|to|the|vehicle,|long|term|sickness|requiring|cover,|or the|
|failure|to|obtain|anticipated|grant|funding.|
|Details|of any|deficit|During|this year the|charity|had|a|deficit|of £8,089.|This|included|the|
|spending|of half of|a £20,000|restricted|grant which|had|been|received|
|shortly|before|the end|of the previous|financial|year.|
|Donated|facilities|and|services|(if any)|| RoMICTS|has approximately|a dozen|active volunteer drivers who|
