JUMBULANCE TRUST

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sT DECEMBER 2011

The Trustees, who are also directors of the Company for the purpose of the Companies Act,present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The information with respect to Trustees, Directors, Officers and Advisors forms part of thisreport. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, theMemorandum and Articles of Association, applicable Accounting Standards in the UnitedKingdom and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting byCharities" published in200S and the Charities Act 1993 and 1996.

1. The Chairtable Aims of the Trust

The principal object of the Trust is to make travel possible for those who are disabled,seriously ill and disadvantaged no matter what their age or circumstances. Little has sofar been changed in relation to the lack of appropriate facilities and care on publictransport whether by road, rail or air and it is these shortcomings that the JumbulanceTrust aims to tackle with two unique vehicles specifically designed andcomprehensively equipped to cater for most medical emergencies which, together withaffiliated groups of volunteer carers throughout the Country can offer one to onesupport to those who need it. By making travel possible we achieve for these people,something that most of us take for granted, and in the process not only make dreams areality for many but sow the seeds of new experiences, new friendships and renewedoptimism for those whose lives can so often become a burden to themselves and theircarers or family, leaving them at the margins of Society. The benefits extend far andwide.

2. Ten Years 2001 - 2011

2011 was the tenth anniversary of the formation of the Trust, during which period ithas achieved its aims and objectives in a variety of ways, some of which have adaptedto changing needs and expectations.

First and foremost we have taken on holidays or pilgrimages throughout the UK andEurope more than 3000 people, both adults and youngsters whose disabilities orillnesses would have made travel by conventional means impossible to contemplate.

Secondly, we have given in excess of 3000 elderly people in care homes theopportunity to have a day out at somewhere special whether it be in London, at a safaripark or some other venue of their choice, making a real difference to lives that are sooften severely restricted.

Thirdly, we have targeted disabled sportsmen and women, taking them and theirsupporters to competitions in Ireland and Europe.

02/04/2012 4

Fourthly, we have given hundreds of volunteers the opportunity to give of their timeand talents to the benefit of others less fortunate than themselves, which in turn hasbenefitted families and communities throughout the UK.

Lastly, we have replaced our original ageing Jumbulances with two magnificent newones which conform in every way with modern needs and expectations and will enablethe Trust to continue to address meaningfully the many shortcomings in the provisionof transport for those who are disabled or very ill.

3. Achievements in 2011

The core activities of the Trust consisting of transporting established groups to holidayor pilgrimage destinations throughout the UK and Europe continued with only minorfall out due to the recession which has affected those in the North rather more severelythan elsewhere although all groups found increasing difficulty in fund raising. Despitethis two new groups were established and others are being promoted which may welldevelop over the next 12 months. In addition to the core business the Trust activelysought to diversify and succeeded in providing transport for a comprehensive hospitaltransfer, for young disabled and very ill people to visit an outdoor activities centre inDevon, Eurodisney in Paris and Glastonbury and WOMAD festivals, and internationaldisabled sportsmen and women in the UK to compete in Holland and Ireland.

Day outings for the elderly were also continued but sadly reduced in number due to thelack of funding available to care homes.

4. Charitable activities for the benefit of the Public

During the year the activities of the Trust have added benefit to the public in a varietyof ways, namely:

4.1 By addressing the shortcomings of facilities and care for the disabled andseriously ill on public transport.

4.2 By involving a wide range of volunteers throughout the Country in caring,organising and fundraising to make it possible for those who are disabled and illto travel safely and partake in what most of us take for granted.

4.3 By dint of involving so many and varied people in our activities the Trust hascontributed to the well being of numerous communities with benefits extendingfar and wide beyond the confines of those actually taking part.

4.4 By making it possible for those so often burdened by their illness or disabilitiesand responsibilities to regain their self respect and optimism such that they canand do regain the confidence to take a more active and constructive part of theirlocal communities.

4.5 By offering the opportunity for student nurses to gain qualified experience as partof their degree course.

02/04/2012 5

5. The Jumbulances

Whilst the new Jumbulance which was commissioned in 2010 continued to surpassexpectations and proved highly adaptable and reliable, fully justifying the improveddesign, the remaining two older vehicles have more and more shown their age,becoming unsustainably expensive to maintain and increasingly obsolete by modernstandards and expectations. The Trustees therefore accelerated their plans for areplacement and an order was placed with Van Hool for delivery in January 2012. Forthe next season and the foreseeable future the Trust will operate with 2 modernJumbulances and the older ones will be disposed of.

6. Finance

The details of income and outgoings are shown in the accounts from which twohighlights should be stressed. First, there is a significant shortfall of income in relationto outgoings illustrating the Trustees deliberate decision to subsidise costs to thosewho use the Jumbulances as part of our charitable giving and secondly there are largesums that have been donated and raised for the purchase of the new Jumbulance. Boththese have been made possible as a result of the generosity of very many well wishersthroughout the Country, magnificently successful fundraising activities organised by theTrustees and others and of course the continued stream of generous donations from somany grant making Trusts upon whose support we rely each year to a great extent tohelp us achieve our objectives.

The total costs of our charitable activities were £195,128 Including £26,091 Fordepreciation. The cash outgoings received by way of contribution totalled £ 169,037,the amount received by way of contribution from travellers and others totalled£150,869 Representing 89.2 % of our cash costs and 77.3 % ofthe total costs.

7. Drivers, Group Leaders and Volunteers

No matter how good the Jumbulances might be that is as nothing compared to theneed for special qualities in the drivers who not only have to be skilled in theirparticular functions relating to the vehicles but in addition have to display a realempathy with the passengers, many of whom have special needs requiring patience,care and understanding. The Trust is fortunate in having a team of drivers whosespecial skills and kindness contribute greatly to the success of our activities.

Much of the demand for the Jumbulances comes from our established groupsthroughout the Country, supplemented by information from Doctors, Nurses, socialworkers and others we encounter from time to time. All groups that are formed totravel together are the result of considerable time spent in organisation, planning andfundraising which is done by volunteers, and to them is extended a sincere vote ofthanks by the Trustees.

02/04/2012 6

8. Reserves Policy

It was decided that our unrestricted reserve fund should remain unchanged for theyear at £25,000 which is identifiably invested on immediate call.

9. Administration

The day-to-day administration of the Trust is delegated to the Honorary Trust Secretaryand Trust Administrator at Wheathampstead, who between them continue to keepcosts at an absolute minimum.

Policy decisions are made by the Board of Trustees at their regular meetings four timesa year but with details requiring decision in the interim being dealt with by theChairman and Vice-Chairman.

In common with many other businesses of our size and nature we use our Accountantsto prepare and submit returns to the tax authorities and assist with the preparation ofthe financial statements.

10. Risk Assessment

The Trustees regularly reassess the likely risks that might befall the Trust and inconsultation with our insurance brokers take appropriate cover. In addition, protocolshave been adopted with which all drivers, group leaders and volunteers agree tocomply, covering best practice in relation to health and safety and liabilities in relationto vulnerable adults and children.

It is confirmed that all the Trust's drivers have been CRB cleared and the Trustprotocols offer excellent reassurance to those vulnerable people we carry aspassengers.

11. Organisation

The Governance of the Trust is vested In the Board of Trustees who are also directorsofthe company limited by guarantee.

Day to day management is delegated to the Trust and Company Secretary and subjectto the supervisory control of the Trustees, with all financial transactions having to beauthorised by two signatories.

12. Leases

The Trust has an annually renewable lease agreement for office space. Depot facilitiesare held on monthly notice agreements. The two remaining older Jumbulances held onsecondary term leases at nominal rents are subject to variable adjustment of capitalvalues on sale and on this basis a sale of the larger vehicle was successfully achieved atthe end of the season.

02/04/2012 7

13. Limitation of Liability and Distribution of Assets

The Trust is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee having no sharecapital. If the Trust is dissolved, every member remaining or who was a member within12 months of the winding up, has agreed to contribute up to £10 per person towardsthe costs of dissolution and the liabilities incurred by the Trust.

If the Trust is dissolved, the assets remaining (after provision has been made for all itsliabilities) shall be applied by transfer to one or more bodies established for charitablepurposes similar to those of the Trust and chosen by the members of the Trust at orbefore the time of dissolution.

14. Indemnity Insurance

The Trust's Employers Liability Insurance cover was renewed in December 2011 in thesum of £10,000,000.

15. Trustee's Responsibilities

The Trustees have responsibility for maintaining proper accounting records whichdisclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity andenable the Trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with the disclosureregulations and charity law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets ofthe charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraudand other irregularities.

In the case of each of the persons who are Trustees at the time of approval of theannual report, the following applies:

• so far as the Trustee is aware, there is no relevant information of which theCompany's accountants are unaware, and
