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). |

| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Chairman's Report |
| The Fflecsi Service continues to operate 2 minibuses in NW Pembrokeshire under a SLA between PVT and PCC. These buses cover a high mileage and are now becoming increasingly unreliable and costly to repair After numerous discussions taking place between PVT, PCC and TFW it has been advised that the vehicles will be replaced in the second quarter of 2026. |
| TFW will be moving towards a new Bus Franchising Model in 2026 with Southwest Wales being the first area (test bed) to move over to this system. This will include the Fflecsi service and PVT are in consultation with TFW, along with PCC, to see how this may be implemented, and whether it will be viable for a small Community Transport Operator such as PVT to bid for the franchise. |
| An issue came to light whereby the Fflecsi drivers had been receiving an 'additional holiday payment' in their pay which was from the original Fflecsi Trial Contract and covered variance in hours worked before the set hours contract was agreed. The trustees agreed that 3 months would be a reasonable period of notice to advise that this payment would cease. Tina Norman sent a written communication to the drivers explaining the issue and advising that the payment would cease on 30th September 2025 and there would be no re-claim by PVT of previous payments made. |
| An annual increase of 3.5 percent was agreed for PVT staff and with the Fflecsi drivers pay increasing to £13.05 per hour, an increase of 32p which brings them into line with the PCC Fflecsi drivers. |
| The My Travel Pass scheme has been adopted which enables cheap travel for younger people. The ticket machines have been updated on both Fflecsi buses and claimbacks will be processed on a monthly basis by Andrew Lloyd the Fflecsi Co-ordinator |
| The Memorandum of Understanding between PVT and RVS has been renewed with funding having been obtained by RVS from Pembrokeshire County Council to continue the RVS Country Cars Wheelchair Accessible Service for another year. PCC also grant PVT with a mileage allowance to help fund this service This partnership, where RVS supply the Volunteer Drivers and PVT supply the Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles and the Bookings Officer, continues to see a rise in demand and is greatly appreciated by the clients who use it. As with all organisations reliant on volunteers, it does present its challenges, but PVT have a core of highly committed RVS Volunteer Drivers and a Co-ordinator, who have enabled in excess of 70 bookings per month throughout the last year. |
| In April, Brian Hough, the Company Secretary / Treasurer suffered a serious illness and made the reluctant decision to retire from both positions. A retirement date of 31/08/2025 was agreed between Brian and the trustees, and an interim process put in place to cover both roles. Peter Parsons (Trustee) agreed to meet with Brian on a regular basis to understand the complexity of the financial processes developed by him over many years. It was agreed that a phased handover would be best with initially the invoicing for the separate business areas to be carried out by the relevant co-ordinators, Kellie Lowther and Andrew Lloyd, with payments out to be made by Mike Jones This would then release some of the pressure on Brian and enable him to carry on with updating the Quickbooks Accounting Package. It was agreed that the co-ordinators would be paid for any additional hours worked during this exercise |
| At this point it was decided that it would be an ideal opportunity to streamline the invoicing and payments processes by going to online banking, with all invoices sent electronically by email and incoming payments made direct into the company bank account. This process worked well with an improvement in cash flow and reduced costs for paper, ink and postage. This also produced an environmental benefit of reducing the companies carbon footprint thereby making it a more sustainable organisation. Access to Quickbooks and the company bank account were granted to the Co-ordinators and Mike Jones which helped build some resilience into the system instead of there being a single point of contact. |
| There was also a review of the Financial Authority Levels with clear guidelines agreed for when prior authorisation was required from the trustees for stepped levels of spending limits. |
| As part of this process Peter Parsons developed a Cash Flow Forecast which now breaks down income and costs into the 4 separate business areas and can be used to give a more in depth analysis for the Financial Reports to the bi-monthly Trustees Meetings. It can also be used to make more informed decisions on financial matters going forwards. |
| Brian was thanked by the trustees for his many years of dedicated service to PVT, and a small token of appreciation was presented to Brian and his wife Sue. |
| The Company Registered Office has now been changed to 45 High St, Haverfordwest, SA61 2BP which is the office of our accountants, Bevan and Buckland. All necessary parties have been informed. |
| PEMBROKESHIRE VOLUNTARY TRANSPORT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03865537) |
| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| In June, a replacement WAV NK21BHV, a VW Caddy automatic with an Automotive Group conversion, was supplied by PACTO on an SLA Free Lease Agreement and was funded by The Motability Foundation. This was a replacement for the vehicle WB19BXG previously supplied, and which for various reasons, was found to be unsuitable for the wide variety of wheelchairs encountered by PVT when operating the RVS Country Cars WAV Service. This is the first automatic vehicle to be added to the fleet and will be of great benefit to both the volunteer drivers, and also when a hirer would prefer, or is only licenced to drive, an automatic vehicle. |
| PACTO also supplied a new Peugeot Boxer Minibus RJ25AGU, again funded by The Motability Foundation, and on a Free Lease SLA, as a replacement for one of the older vehicles owned by PVT. At this point two of the older minibuses, 'Ruby and Stacey', were sold and the proceeds credited to the PVT account. |
| PVT continues to supply the quarterly information to the Transformation Team to enable their reporting back to the Motability Foundation. |
| With the steady growth of PVT it has become clear that the organisational structure may need reviewing to keep pace with ongoing governance and operational commitments. It was agreed to approach The Cranfield Trust who are a pro bono consultancy organisation specialising in charity work. From an initial conversation it was agreed that Peter Parsons would lead this process on behalf of PVT. The first stage of the process was to complete a 'Journey to Excellence' assessment which helped to identify the strengths and weaknesses within the organisation and identify gaps where improvements could be made. This then generated a base line score which could be used to measure any improvements made. A mentor was allocated by The Cranfield Trust and the initial framework was agreed. Unfortunately, due to numerous factors, including some senior staff absences, it was difficult to achieve the necessary timelines for the project and it was agreed that it should be shelved until 2026 when there may be more capacity. There are however a number of improvements already implemented, especially around the financial processes, which have helped to fill some of the gaps identified. |
| It was agreed that PVT should undergo a re-branding exercise which would help to promote the organisation and increase public awareness of 'who we are' and 'what we do' Kellie Lowther was asked to lead this project and has to date consulted with Web Adept to design a new logo and strap line with additional promotional materials. The new logo has been agreed by the trustees and the process is due to continue in Qtr 2 2026 with a launch and rebranding of the vehicles. |
| PVT has always had a harmonious working relationship with PACTO, in fact PVT instigated the inception of PACTO as an organisation in 2012. There have recently been many disagreements and divergence of values between the two organisations and, with Tina Norman being advised by the PVT Board in June to resign her position as a Trustee on the PACTO Board, there was no other PVT Trustee who wished to fill the vacancy. It was unanimously agreed by PVT Trustees to inform PACTO that we no longer wished to be a member of the organisation. Discussions continue on the vehicles supplied under the Free Lease SLAs. |
| An initial meeting took place between PVT and Dolen Teifi, who are a large Community Transport Organisation operating primarily in the Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire areas. A presentation was given by Rod Bowen to illustrate their business model and to compare notes on working practices between the two organisations. It was agreed that PVT would develop a closer working relationship with Dolen Teifi which would be mutually beneficial for both organisations. Further meetings were planned for 2026. |

| 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 |

| Total funding received was £298,177 (2024 £311,218) and resources expended during the year amount to £308,033 (2024 £294,419) resulting in a deficit of £9,856 (2024 surplus of £16,799). Total funds held as at 31 December 2025 amount to £132,441 (2024 £142,297) of which £132,335 (2024 £142,172) is unrestricted and £106 (2024 £125) is restricted. |

| 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. |

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to charitable companies subject to the small companies regime. |
| The financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees and authorised for issue on |
| PEMBROKESHIRE VOLUNTARY TRANSPORT |
| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements of the charitable company, 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' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
| The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': |
| • | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
| • | the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d); |
| • | the requirements of paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c); |
| • | the requirements of paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; |
| • | the requirement of paragraph 33.7. |
| Income |
| Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached the the item (s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
| Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial activities. |
| Donations and grants are recognised when receivable. In the event that a donation is subject to fulfilling performance conditions before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until i t is probable that the that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. |
| Interest on deposits held is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity which is normally upon notification of the interest paid or by the bank. |
| Expenditure |
| All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under 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. |
| Support costs are made up of administration and management, finance costs and governance costs. Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with the compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives as follows: |
| Plant and machinery | - | 15% reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | - | 20% on cost |
| PEMBROKESHIRE VOLUNTARY TRANSPORT |
| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 |
| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| All fixed assets are held for continuing use in the charity's activities and are recorded at cost at the time of acquisition. |
| Taxation |
| The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. |
| Fund accounting |
| Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. |
| 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. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs. |
| Designated funds are funds earmarked by the trustees for a particular purposes. They are not restricted and make up the unrestricted reserves. |
| Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. |
| Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis |
| The trustees have considered the financial performance of the Charity for the foreseeable future, in particular, the next 12 to 18 months and are confident that the Charity is a going concern. |
| Debtors |
| Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due. Accrued income is included at best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and demand deposits that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk to changes in value. |
| Creditors |
| Creditors are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. |
