vehicles are also used to provide an afternoon service and are available to hire for individuals,
Voluntary Groups as well as community groups for low cost. The charity also wns these services and
manages a group of volunteers to provide this.
Summary of maln achlevements
Another strong yearfor Community Transport East Renfrewshire with all aspects of the charity
remaining busy. Medical Appointments from Aprll 2024- March 2025 remained high with 51ight
growth from previous year at 2453 appointments being booked by residents of East Renfrewshlre.
This equates to 4906 single journeys. Ourvolunteer drivers for medical appointments covered over
39,016 miles and dedicated over 3966 hours driving patlents to over 62 various hospitals and GP
surgeries in the greater Glasgow area and beyond. New referrals to the medical appointment servl
remained high at 188.
Our afternoon tea5 at Barrhead Resource Centre have remained popular and attendance has
increased from the prevlous year with new members coming along to meet new friends and
socialise. We held 33 afternoon teas where 272 residents In the Barrhead and Neilston area have
attended. Our fantastic group of volunteers who facilitate this service by driving the buses, escortlng
resldents on/off the buses, servin8 tea, cleaning up, shopping and much more have dedicated over
1200 hours to making our afternoon teas a huge success. We had a fantastic Halloween afternoon
tea and members got to listen to some original poems from one of our fabulous members
bringing back memories of Halloween in the "8ood old days" Over the last few years, we have
noticed a lack of male members attending our afternoon teas so in a bid to tackle this we introduced
a men's only afternoon tea in February 2025 which has gone from strength to strength. Local men
from Barrhead and Neilston have come along and have been enjoying soclallsing with new people
and meeting up with old friends. We have plenty of Interest for this group and hope to see it
continually grow.
Our Bus Hires have remained steady from previous year wlth 8 local community groups hiring our
vehicles for 11 outings which have included The Kelpies, Blair Drummond Safari Park and Largs. We
only have one bus driver for these hires, and he has covered a massive 492 mile5 transporting these
groups for a fantastic day out.
To enable us to maintain this 8reat success across the charity we have been on the lookout for new
volunteers for both the medical appointments and driving our vehlcles. At the beginnin8 of 2025 we

Registered Charity Number: SC045068
Community Transport East Renfrewshire SCIO
Report of the Trustees
For the Year Ended 31 March 2025
went out to all the local GP surgeries in East Renfrewshire updating them on our referral process for
medical appointments as well as putting up posters to try and recruit new volunteers. We have
successfully recruited 4 new volunteers since doing this and hope more will follow.
The charlty reserve policy
The charity held funds at 31st March 2025 of £50,876, last financial year {£55,0611, no
restricted funds. It is the policy of the charity to maintain the unrestricted funds not
committed I'the free reserves'l at a level to support 3 months operational activity (£16,822).
The Board consider that the current level of free reserves is adequate but is always
considering ways of achieving additional income. The Trustees are also aware of the
necessity to have a realistic reserve figure for vehicle repairs and/or replacement.
Designated funds
Vehicle repairsl replacement (£25,000)
Expected increase in medical appointments (£7.500)
Donated facilities and services
Parking space is made available for the two minibuses at Barrhead Health Centre and the East
Renfrewshire Council garage in Thornliebank. Servicing of vehicles and drawing of fuel at East
Renfrewshire Transport Depot to enable us to get better value for money.
Principal Funding Sources
Our main funders are Health and Social Care Partnership and Strathclyde Passenger Transport, we
receive year on year funding from both stakeholders which is spread across 2 financial years.
Additional Information
East Renfrewshire is an area that is 80% rural and 20°/o Urban, public transport is expensive if you
live in the rural areas and there is limited transport from one side of the authority to the other. This not
only makes it difficult to attend medical appointments for those that are disadvantaged in some way
as the figure in performance suggest the service is well used by the residents of East Renfrewshire.
As older residents find it difficult to stay connected with friends and their local community, we will
continue to offer the afternoon teas, to help older residents remain connected by having things to do
and people to see. Social interaction is equally as important as medical interventions.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees and Members of
Community Transport East Renfrewshire
I have examined the financial ststements of Community Transport East Renfrewshire SCIO for the
year ended 31 March 2025 on pages Seven to Eleven.
The charity's truslees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance wilh the
temis of the Chaiities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation
10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts
as required under section 44(1) (c) of tha Act and to state whether particular matter8 have come to my
attention.
Community Transport East Renfrewshire SCIO is a registered Scottish Charity. my examination is
carried out in accordan￿ with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
An examination includes a review of the accounling records kept by the organisation and a
compari80n of the accounts presented with those records. It also indudes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the Trustees concerning
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be requiied
in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinton on the accounts.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (al of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4
of the 2006 Accounts Regulation5, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of
the 2006 Account5 Regulations
have not been rnet. or
to which, in my opinion, attenlion should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.

After 25 years since I started the charity it has gone from strength to strength with the efforts
from ourfantastic volunteers and ourfantastic residents in East Renfrewshire who continually use
our services. 2024125 has been another great year. Our transport to medical appointments service
has remained ever popular as well as bus hires for local community groups. Our real success story
of the past year is our afternoon teas. Coming out of the pandemic our groups were small and
attendance low, however over the last year we have seen our group sizes get bigger with more
members attending and new membersjoining. We noticed our groups were predominantly made
up of women and not very men attended our afternoon teas, so in a bid to tackle this, we
introduced a men's only group at the beginning of the year which has gone from strength to
strength. Local men from Barrhead and Neilston have come along and have been enjoying
socialising with new people and meeting up with old friends. We have plenty of interest forthis
group and hope to see it continually grow.
We celebrated our fantastic volunteer
