## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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** 

The organisation is established for charitable purposes only, and in particular, the objects are: 

- the advancement of environmental protection or improvement, by establishing; 

i) a bespoke training and support programme designed to facilitate the transition from car to bicycle for commuting and local journeys, ii) a car-sharing scheme, and iii) a bicycle re-usage scheme. 

- the provision of recreational facilities as well as the organisation of recreational activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities and activities are primarily intended, by organising regular cycling activities for our beneficiaries covering a range of venues, disciplines, and intensities. 

## **Public benefit** 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **Volunteers** 

The Charity made use of volunteers in its activities and the Board wishes to express their gratitude for the work carried out in the period by those volunteers, and looks forward to their continuing and valuable assistance. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

This has been a challenging year, with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. We have had to drastically adapt our projects, premises and strategy. With this we devised a Covid Emergency Action Plan that entailed an extensive refurbishment of our premises to make it safe & accessible and a reprofile of our projects in order to adapt them to this unprecedented circumstance. 

What we discovered on this new journey was the power of the bike. The sheer uptake of cycling throughout the country was immense, with families venturing out discovering nature, their neighborhood and the joy of cycling. This rekindling of the human spirit was also very much true with the adaptations made to our projects. 

Our eRide project, green transport for communities and Revolutionize, the green collection and delivery service have especially adapted well to the pandemic and have proven to be a green, nimble solution to the challenges faced by society. We immediately devised a portable covid distribution site, using our eCargo bikes and a portacabin as a mobile site to get basic necessities, food and medicine to the elderly, isolated and most vulnerable in our neighborhoods. This unexpected circumstance has allowed us to create a truly innovative model and a strategy which forms part of the solution for smarter, greener neighborhoods of tomorrow. With local community at the heart of this, and the woes that the pandemic has brought, this has truly been the light that has shone through the darkness. 

## **Stakeholders** 

Some of our key stakeholders this year have been Keep Scotland Beautiful, Paths for All and SP Energy Networks. These partnerships have been instrumental in shaping the organisation and creating local social impact.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The financial statements show the overall position of the charity as at 31 March 2021, and of its income and expenditure for the period ended on that date. 

A number of grants were received during the period totalling £140,754 (2020 - £175,866). Income from donations amounted to £2,119 (2020 - £531) in the year. Bike sales, repairs and other income augmented this, producing a total income of £148,952  (2020 - £195,106). 

Expenditure totalled £141,809 (2020 - £130,464) as detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities and this results in net income for the year of £7,143 (2020 - net income of £64,642). 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The Charity continues to rely on grant income as its principal source of funding in order to meet its objectives. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The reserves in the balance sheet represent accumulated funds for the period to date. A balance of reserves will be maintained to cover fluctuations in income and expenditure, to allow for any unexpected major expenditure requirement or to mitigate any decline in the overall financial environment. The board are satisfied that the level of reserves retained and reflected in the financial statements are sufficient. Reserves held by the charity as at 31 March 2021 totalled £80,219 (2020 - £73,076). Within this, unrestricted funds were at a surplus of £37,559 (2020 - surplus of £16,022), and the restricted funds balance was £42,660 (2020 - £57,054). 

## **Going concern** 

The board do not consider that there are any concerns over the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The pandemic has enabled us to approach our organization with a clean slate, allowing us to build on the huge opportunities that have developed in community cycling. Our focus will remain on self-sustainability through enhancing our social enterprise model and devising a fresh new organizational strategy for the road ahead. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The Charity initially operated as an unincorporated club and then was converted to a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) on 5 May 2016 with the approval of OSCR. A new constitution was adopted at this point, with the assets and liabilities of the club being transferred to the SCIO.

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The individuals who signed the charity trustee declaration forms which accompanied the application for incorporation as a SCIO shall be deemed to have been appointed by the members as charity trustees with effect from the date of incorporation. 

At each AGM, the members may elect any member (unless debarred from membership) to be an elected trustee - elected trustees must be members of the organisation. In the event of an elected trustee ceasing to hold such office for any reason between AGMs, the board may appoint any other member (unless debarred from being a charity trustee) to the board in their place as an elected trustee until the next AGM, when the person so appointed shall retire from office but may then be elected by the members. 

In addition, the board may at any time appoint any person (unless debarred from being a charity trustee) to be an appointed trustee. The board may at any time terminate the appointment of an appointed trustee.

At each AGM, all of the elected trustees must retire from office but may then be re-elected. An elected trustee retiring at an AGM will be deemed to have been re-elected unless they have advised the board prior to the conclusion of the AGM that they do not wish to be re-appointed as a charity trustee; or an election process was held at the AGM and they were not among those elected/re-elected through that process. 

The organisation must have at least three trustees and a maximum of ten. 

Trustees must appoint one of their number for the office of Convenor, a Treasurer and a Secretary, in addition with any other offices which the board may consider appropriate. All office bearers will cease to hold that office at the conclusion of each AGM but may then be re-elected. Office bearers will cease to hold their position if they cease to be a charity trustee or on production of a signed notice of resignation. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The day to day running of the Charity is the duty of the Trustees who meet regularly to set policy and take all major decisions regarding the Charity. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

The policies of the Charity for the induction and training of the induction and training of new Board members are tailored to suit the knowledge and experience of the appointee.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees 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). 

The law applicable to charities in Scotland, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the charity's constitution, 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the charity's constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of SoulRiders (SCIO) 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages six to eighteen. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention : 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to  be reached.

## Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', The Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisations Regulations 2011 and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Presentation currency** 

The financial statements are presented in pound sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the charity. 

## **Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The Trustees have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported within the financial statements during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The Trustees estimates, assumptions and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the financial statements are addressed and detail is provided in the associated notes. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donations and legacies consist of donations and grants which are recognised when the Charity is entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Main charitable activities income is that received by the charity in relation to the hiring out of its premises. 

Other trading activities is funds raised from the sale and repair of bikes along with a small amount from the sale of scrap metal. 

Other income includes all income outwith that detailed above received in the year. 

## **Volunteers** 

In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in the financial statements due to inaccurate measurement bases. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure has been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis when a legal liability is incurred, payment of the liability is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. The amount includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered.  VAT is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

Charitable activities comprise all resources expended undertaking work to meet the charity's charitable objectives. Such costs include the direct costs of charitable activities approved by the charity and all support costs relating to these activities. Governance costs include direct resources expended in the general running of the charity and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. These costs are allocated entirely to charitable activities.

## Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2021 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Expenditure** 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs are allocated wholly to charitable activities. While the Trustees recognise that a small part of some items of expenditure may relate to indirect governance costs, they are of the opinion that time and costs involved in performing such analysis outweigh the potential benefits arising from any such work. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Improvements to property - 20% on cost Plant and machinery - 25% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 25% on cost 

It is the policy of the Charity not to consider items of expenditure less than £500 for capitalisation. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the  Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity has no complex financial instruments but does hold basic financial instruments of; cash at bank, debtors and creditors. 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, foreign currency on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.  A bank overdraft would be shown within current liabilities. 

## **Financial instruments** 

Debtors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less losses for bad debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, trade and other debtors are stated at cost less losses for bad debts. 

Creditors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, trade and other creditors are stated at cost.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Employee benefits** 

The total cost of employee benefits to which employees have become entitled as a result of service rendered to the entity during the reporting period are recognised and charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. 

## **Provision for liabilities** 

A provision is initially recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as the result of a past event, it is probable that there will be the transfer of funds in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. The provision is subsequently measured by placing a charge against the provision only for expenditure for which the provision was originally recognised. 

## **Volunteers** 

In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in the financial statements due to inaccurate measurement bases.
