REVIEW OF TRANSACTIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE CHARITY: - This year’s report is very unusual, because of Covid all efforts have been concerned with keeping the charity in a position to keep it capable of functioning to enable it to continue to deliver its services at whatever level would be required.
Our staff have been marvellous, under the guidance of Mr Steven Evans, who was made manager just before lockdown. The Government Furlough Scheme was utilized, our landlord gave us a quarter rent holiday, and a low level of service delivered. Our members in the main were very reluctant to travel, very understandable.
The various grants given out by Welsh Assembly Government were very helpful and when the need arose to accommodate more journeys the facility was there. The trustees are extremely grateful to the staff for their commitment to our services. We owe them a huge thank you.
As in previous years there were no fiduciary transactions between the Charity. its members and Trustees other than in the normal provision of transport in accordance with its operations. Net receipts for the year were £41,344.
TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES: -
Charity law requires trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the profit or loss of the charity for that year. In preparing those accounts the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; follow applicable accounting standards. subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Acts. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Newtown & District Dial A Ride
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Newtown & District Dial A Ride (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
