The trustees of Bikes4Christmas are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements for the year ended 30th June, 2024.

Our annual bike ride and Christmas gala dinner were hugely successful, raising awareness and crucial funds for our cause
Community Partnerships :
We expanded our partnerships with local businesses and organisations, securing in-kind donations and logistical support.
Volunteer Engagement :
Our volunteer base grew by 12%, allowing us to deliver bikes more efficiently and enhance community outreach.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The financial health of Bikes4Christmas remains robust, thanks to our diligent fundraising efforts and responsible management of resources. The total income generated during the year was £11,000, and total expenses amounted to £13,487. The addition amount in expenses was covered by the surplus and reserves.
Looking Ahead: New Initiatives for 2024
1. Bicycle Repair Workshops:
We plan to introduce bicycle repair workshops where children and their families can learn basic bike maintenance skills. This initiative aims to empower recipients to care for their bicycles and ensure longevity, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility.
2. Cycling Safety Program:
In partnership with local schools and community centres, we will launch a cycling safety program to educate children on road safety, cycling etiquette, and best practices. The goal is to enhance the safety of young cyclists and promote confident, responsible riding.
3. Bikes4Christmas Community Hub:
We are exploring the establishment of a dedicated community hub that will serve as a central point for donations, volunteer coordination, and community engagement activities. This hub will also function as a space for hosting our repair workshops and safety programs, enhancing our visibility and impact in the community
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Bikes4Christmas is governed by a board of trustees who meet quarterly to oversee the charity's activities and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The trustees are supported by a dedicated team of volunteer staff members.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our supporters, donors, volunteers, and partners whose unwavering support has made our work possible.
