We are a small charity, registered as a Friendly Society , number R 27205, with the Industrial and Provident Societies register, overseen by the Financial Services Authority.  This gives us charitable status, assures funders and other bodies of our regulated arrangements, and ensures the audited accounts are lodged with the appropriate body.

Each of the member organisations has one seat on the Management Committee, and that person has a £1 shareholding in PSCT as a trustee under the association rules.  The Management Committee is responsible for the ownership, operation and financing of the vehicles.

The member organisations are those community groups that set up PSCT, or its predecessors, or such groups that have joined us later, and are regular users of the minibuses.  They all have a regular weekly or monthly booking for one or two of the minibuses.

Other user organisations that use the vehicles on an occasional basis are invited to join the association if they choose to do so.

As a small community charity, set up to provide regular transport to community groups, we do not provide use of the vehicles to statutory bodies, except on very occasional one-off uses that are clearly supporting community activities.
