PEMBROKESHIRE VOLUNTARY TRANSPORT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03865537)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Chairman's Report
The Fflesci Service operated by PVT, under a SLA with PCC, had another very successful year, despite bad weather and breakdowns. After a Pay Review, in February, the wages of Coordinator and Drivers, were increased by 3.5%. Both Fflesci buses spent considerable time out of Service again due to running repairs. Each vehicle covered over 1,000 miles/ week. Both vehicles urgently need replacing by PCC/ TfW. Only one Minibus is suitable as a 'stand in' for the Fflesci Service.

In July 2024, Katy Leese was given Redundancy Notice and a package, and gratefully thanked for her 3 years work with PVT as Minibus Coordinator, unfortunately this post was no longer viable, duties were absorbed within other posts. Mike Jones took over some of the minibus coordinator's duties as Administration Assistant. Minibus Hire Service bookings increased, new organisations joined, including several schools. But repair bills on the vehicles also increased, due to their age and use. The daily Hire fees were increased to £30, £35 for larger Minibuses, with the continued 'free' first 20 miles, then £1.50/mile, £1.70 for larger minibuses. In November, paid hours for Mike Jones were increased from 4 to 10 hours/ week. The Service, is still under utilised, better promotion is urgently required, (for all 3 services) but PVT doesn't have the resources, whereas PACTO has resources available as part of the Motorbility Grant.

In February, the SLA was renewed, between RVS and PCC for the Pembrokeshire Country Cars Service, including the Accessible part. Through a long standing informal arrangement, PVT had provided Accessible Vehicles, a Coordinator, conducted client and wheelchair risk assessments plus Driver WAV training. In May, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between RVS and PVT, duties and responsibilities of both organisations set out. PVT agreed to provide vehicles, a Coordinator, plus final driver WAV training. Risk assessments of clients and wheelchairs and MiDAS WAV driver training would be done by PACTO for RVS. This Service began on 3rd June, with Kellie Lowther as Bookings Officer for the RVS Accessible Country Cars Service, wages paid for by PVT but millage for Service, claimed from PCC. Kellie also took over the post of PVT WAV Coordinator, from Mike Jones, her hours were increased to 28 hours/ week and her pay from £13.20 to £13.80/ hour. Mike Jones took over Kellie's duties as PVT Administration Assistant. Journey numbers of this Service increased over the rest of the year from 30 to 60 journeys/ month, with many new regular clients. The PVT Facebook page, edited by Kellie, was very successful in promoting PVT and bringing in volunteer drivers. Bookings for the WAV Hire Service , also increased over the year. After a Review, the Hiring fee for the WAVs was increased to £30 /day, after the first free 20 miles ,additional mileage increased to £1.00. After consulting our clients, extra time slots morning, afternoon and evening were introduced. This increased numbers and brought in new clients. The WAV VW Maxi Caddi NK62 ELH bought by PVT, was sold, to Car and Commercial for £1,400, as due to age and millage it couldn't pass the MOT test. This put extra pressure on the Service and some requests had to be turned down.

On 9th July, two 'Free Lease Agreements' were signed with PACTO for a new Boxer Lite 16 seater accessible Minibus, HT73XTD ( funded from Motability Grant) and a second hand WAV WB19BXG (People's Postcode Lottery Grant ). 1st August the Vehicles were handed over to PVT. Conversations continue with PACTO about the first WAV and also the second Minibus from the Motabilty Grant. Unfortunately, the second hand WAV, doesn't have a Winch and can only be used for a wide based wheelchair, so isn't really suitable for use by a Community Transport Organisation. PVT collated information, reports and requested a replacement vehicle from PACTO, similar to one PVT already uses.

The three Coordinators, were given access to all vehicle trackers, enabling them to move vehicles between Services. Data was collated and the Local Bus Service Grant was once again applied for and awarded. The two sets of Policies, for Charity and Business, were combined into one online indexed 'Handbook', accessible to all members and the new IT Share Point Site was set up. Work on a 'Procedures and Quality Manual' also an 'Adverse Weather Policy' began. It was agreed to pay Staff cover hours, when other Staff are on Annual or Sick Leave. After a review in November, the paid hours were increased of Fflesci Coordinator Andrew Lloyd from 16 to 26 hours/ week and Administration Assistant Mike Jones , from 4 to 10 hours/ week, beginning 1st December.


PEMBROKESHIRE VOLUNTARY TRANSPORT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03865537)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

With the new Charity Commission Guidelines published in 2023, it was proposed and agreed that PVT adopt the Charities Commission new Model, as our Governing Document, which aligns with current IT and modern practices. New Articles of Association were put together and adjusted to suit the needs of a CTO. In August, it was agreed to cease fees and Membership of PVT for Groups/ Clubs/ organisations that hire the Minibuses and WAVs, membership will continue as just members of the 'Working Committee.'

PVT continued to work with the Transformation Team from PACTO Motabilty Project. Initial Information, covering 12 months, including a 'SWOT' Analysis, was collected by PVT staff, to enable the Team, to set a ' Base line' for the Project. Extra Data was also requested by the Team, and agreed on, to be submitted each quarter. Collection of this Data, takes considerable time, which PVT pays for, plus PVT Staff are not trained or experienced in I.T.

At the AGM on 20th September, Tina Norman was re elected as Chairperson ( her final year), Peter Scoble, Simon Jones and Naomi Rees were re elected as Trustees. The Board of Trustees was joined by Peter Parsons and Kellie Lowther, (both RVS Drivers)

This year has a been a period of growth for PVT in all areas, increased revenue, journey and passenger/client numbers, range of groups we serve but also in our understanding of our strengths and weaknesses as an organisation. And how we can improve as a Community Transport Organisation, for the people of Pembrokeshire.

Objectives and aims
Pembrokeshire Voluntary Transport exists to provide relief to the inhabitants of Pembrokeshire and its environs, who have need because of age, mental or physical disability, or poverty, mothers with young children or people living in isolated areas where there is no public transport facilities and in particular but not so as to limit the generality of the foregoing:-

To provide and maintain non-profit community transport services, and

To assist the charitable work of organisations and bodies engaged in promoting the relief of such persons through the provision of appropriate services.

Public benefit
The Trustees have had due regard to Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit and this annual report of PVT's activities clearly demonstrate that these objects are being fully met. We continue to provide both a range of community transport services in a number of ways to meet the needs of Pembrokeshire inhabitants identified in the objects, and to seek ways of providing similar services in new areas to meet the needs of other inhabitants.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
We continue with the provision of group transport services throughout Pembrokeshire.

Representation
PVT continues to represent the interest of community groups and individuals within the Pembrokeshire area, especially those who experience problems with normal transport facilities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
Total funding received was £299,273 (2023 £235,875) and resources expended during the year amount to £294,419 (2023 £244,872) resulting in a surplus of £4,854 (2023 deficit of £8,997). Total funds held as at 31 December 2024 amount to £130,352 (2023 £125,498) of which £130,227 (2023 125,350) is unrestricted and £125 (2023 £148) is restricted.

We rely on hire costs from our accessible Minibuses and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles, as well as support from Pembrokeshire County Council's transport department for our North West Pembrokeshire Fflesci Service and for providing accessible vehicles to the Royal Voluntary Service Accessible Country Cars Service, and from the South West Wales Bus Service Support Grant, to keep our services running.

We aim to keep our costs and charges at an affordable and sustainable level.

Reserves policy
A reserves policy for the organisation has been formally agreed, in line with recommended practice of the Charity Commission. In current circumstances, the Board recognises the need to maintain adequate reserves for the organisation realised through sound management of available resources, making sensible provision for the future and to cover any deficit in funds for activities for which future funding may not be secured.

It is established that the general reserves take into account three months' overheads/running costs; provision against the risk of funding being reclaimed by funders; sufficient funds to cover any deficit in resources for restricted projects or core activities that may not be funded in future; sufficient working capital to finance cash flow shortfalls anticipated for any restricted project or programme and sufficient funds to build up a reserve to cover replacement of vehicles. The organisation's required level of reserves is £90,000. The level of reserves is calculated annually in order that the Board can establish an appropriate level of reserves for the coming year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document and constitutes an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Management Committee members are elected individually at the Annual General Meeting. Only individual members of the company or persons nominated by organisations which are members may stand for election for the Management Committee.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
PEMBROKESHIRE VOLUNTARY TRANSPORT

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Pembrokeshire Voluntary Transport ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
