Trustee recrultment and appolntment CIMCT was constituted in April 2024 with six Trustees who were already either volunteer drivers for a community transport service involving Ferintosh Comrnunity Council or with another CT organisation or passenger group. Subsequent recruitment has focused on filling key skill gaps with respected members from tho community. Charitable purposes The Purposes of the charity are: The relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. To seek to provide community transport solutions for both residents within the Ferintosh Community Council area and beyond where residents have difficulty with access to public Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects The charity operates a small electric vehicle (Wee Ferintosh Bus) with a capacity for either 6 passengers, or 4 passengers plus a wheelchair- bound passenger. The service was delivered by a team of 11 volunteer drivers, 2 employed part time drivers, 2 employed part time administrators with the governance overseen by 5 volunteer trustees.

Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period A wide range of residents from within our community use the Wee Bus to access employment, after school activities, medical appointments, shops and social events with an age range of 8 to 94. In the 12 months, 1724 single-equivalent passengerjourneys were successfully delivered with only 21 requests unfulfilled. The numbers of requests are steadily on the increase leading to plans for 202512026 to access more vehicle capacity. Community engagement has been the most satisfying outcome of the first year, beyond the welcome feedback received from passengers, witnessing the effect our volunteèrs have had on specific individuals across our community is both humbling and inspirational. Whether that be: the ability to leave their property and interact with the wider community for the first time in years tho ability to retain employment while residing in the community they choose children's ability to enjoy after school activities with their friends and after school study for exams which was previously very difficult or even impossible due to the lack of transport Financial review Brief slatement of the charity's policy on resetves Reserves have initially been set at a minimum of three months of operational costs. This ensures that there will be sufficient notice periods for employees and debtors for services that can be addressed if necessary. As the charity matures and gathers factual data over the first year of operations, this policy will be reviewed by the trustees with any surplus funding identified and reserve values adjusted. For the 2024 /2025 period where trading was limited to four months, surplus funds at year end were c.£17,000.00 against a reserve value of c.£15,000.00.

Details of any deficit There is no deficit Donated facilities and services (if any) CIMCT does not own or rent any facilities. Our administrators work from home and the Wee Bus is parked in a designated electric charging space owned by The Highland Council. The provision of the Wee Bus, its maintenance and its fuel are all funded b The Hi hland Council. APPENDIX 1 Other optional information The progress and success of the first year has been heavily reliant on the vision and resilience of Ferintosh Community Council (FCC) members. The Wee Bus was many years in the making before CIMCT was even thought about and it was thanks to FCC support and cooperation that enabled the Wee Bus to serve the community during 2024 while the charity was being formed. Without FCC this invaluable community service just would not be in existence. The support of The Highland Council and Stagecoach Highland has also been utterly critical in reaching this successful situation. The delivery of the service over the past year has beèn centred around a group of enthusiastic and committed volunteers and employees. Their contribution towards the community in which we live and the successful delivery of a sustainable transport solution based in the heart of our community has been, and we're sure will continue to be, gratefully received by all who use this invaluable seniice, Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees, report above.
