Rochdale Borough Shopmobility’s objectives are: The relief of persons, in particular people who have limited mobility, in particular but without limitations by the provision of escorts, wheelchairs and similar equipment with the object of improving their mobility and their conditions of life within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale.
**Rochdale Borough Shopmobility** provides manual and powered wheelchairs, powered scooters and volunteer escorts to help people with limited mobility, shop and use the facilities of Rochdale with ease and enjoyment. Escorts are also available for people with sensory disabilities.
**Rochdale Opening Hours:** Monday to Friday - 9.30 am to 4.30 pm Saturday - 9.30am to 12.30pm
**Booking Procedure** Bookings for both scooters and wheelchairs can be made up to 2 working days in advance. Booking is advisable, although scooters are usually available each day for casual users who just arrive at the office. This is on a first come first served basis.

Membership costs £10.00 per year and there is a further charge of £2.50 for each 3hr session booked. Day membership is available for visitors to Rochdale at a cost of £5.50.

## **Chairpersons Address 2021/2022**
During the past year, we have been fortunate to receive £1000 from Councillor Billy Sheerin’s mayoral year, for which we are very grateful. We will be receiving further donations from last year’s mayor Councillor Rashid. Not only are these donations from the mayor’s charity very welcomed, but most importantly they recognise and support the very valuable service that Shopmobility provides.
Indeed, it is encouraging that the usage and membership of the scheme has grown over the past year. With the continued improved offer of shopping in Rochdale, hopefully this trend will continue.
I would also like to thank the Leader of the Council, Councillor Neil Emmott, for agreeing to cover the full costs of the salaries for 2022/2023. We are very fortunate to have the support of the Council.
However, we are all well aware of the cost of living problems that we and all countries are facing due to Putin’s war, and the effects this may have on the users of our service to travel and shop as frequently. The council may face further spending reductions, so we must be all mindful of this and should make savings wherever possible.
I would like to Michelle Hollinrake and Debbie Ratcliffe for the tremendous work and dedication they show to the service. My thanks also to all members, who without we would not have a valued service. Finally, thank you to all members of the executive committee for their support of Shopmobility.
It is indeed a service for which we can all be rightly proud.
Yours sincerely
Councillor Ashley Dearnley

## **Treasurers Report Year 2021/2022**
I have looked in detail at the accounts for 2021/22
Income has decreased in the last year namely due to the unavailability off ‘one off’ grants. During the previous accounting year, we received £17,472 in Government Grants due to closures during the Covid pandemic.
Overall expenditure has deceased by just over £2,000 which is testament to the due diligence of Michelle Hollinrake and Debra Radcliffe who continually strive to make appropriate savings and explore income generating opportunities.
We have £2,469 to carry forward to 2021/22 and will need to secure funding for 2022/23. For this financial year the Council has agreed to increase their grant to £35,000 which will cover salaries.
We are continuing to apply for funding to Charity grant and other providers to help fund the coming years.
Usage and Membership income has grown over the last year and as the High Street continues to recover this is expected to grow further in 2022/23.
On behalf of colleagues, I would like to thank Rochdale Borough Council for their continuing support of the Charity and I would also like to thank Michelle, Debbie and all the Committee Members who give their time and energy to ensure that we provide a service fit for purpose for residents and visitors to Rochdale.
We remain dedicated and committed to continuing this service that benefits Rochdale Borough residents and Town Centre visitors, and look forward to welcoming back members old and new in the near future.

## **Managers’ Report 2021/2022**
The impact on our finances during the Covid pandemic was a huge problem for us moving forward as we worried that people would still be wary of coming into the Town Centre and that this would have a further detrimental
effect on our income. We are very pleased to say that our usage and membership have grown over the last year and we expect that to continue. We do however envisage that the cost of living increases will have an adverse effect on our members’ ability to travel to Rochdale Town Centre and we may see a decline in usage again.
We are very pleased that the new Mayor Cllr Rashid nominated us as one of the beneficiaries of the 2021/22 Mayors Charity Fund which will be awarded in the next financial year. We would like to thank him for all his hard work raising funds for his chosen Charities in difficult times.
I would like to thank Rochdale Borough Council as ever for continuing to support our service financially with an Annual Grant and for agreeing to cover the full cost of salaries for 2022/23. I would like to thank Cllr Ashley Dearnley, Chairperson for putting a case forward for more support. This will help to keep the Charities finances in order in these difficult economic times for the next financial year and will ensure that people with mobility problems are still able to visit Rochdale Town Centre with ease and enjoyment.
I would also like to thank Deborah Ratcliffe our Scheme Assistant as ever, who has given continuing support to myself and all our members of Rochdale Borough Shopmobility.
Rochdale Borough Shopmobility would not be able to provide the range of services without the dedicated support of our Executive Committee who I would like to thank as ever on behalf of the Staff and all the Shopmobility Members.

## **ROCHDALE BOROUGH SHOPMOBILITY**
## **REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ROCHDALE BOROUGH SHOPMOBILITY**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 as set out on pages 4 to 7.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Chairpersons Address 202112022
During the past year, we have been fortunate to receive £1 000 from
Councillor Billy Sheerin's mayoral year, for which we are very grate1.
We will be receiving further donations from last year's mayor Councillor
Rashid. Not only are these donations from the mayor's charity very
welcomed, but most importantly they recognise and support the very
valuable service that Shopmobility provides.
Indeed, it is encouraging that the usage and membership of the scheme
has grown over the past year. With the continued improved offer of
shopping in Rochdale, hopeI]Y this trend will continue.
I would also like to thank the Leader of the Council, Councillor Neil
Emmott, for agreeing to cover the full costs of the salaries for 202212023.
We are very fortunate to have the support of the Council.
However, we are all well aware of the cost of living problems that we and
all countries are facing due to Putin's war, and the effects this may have
on the users of our service to travel and shop as frequently. The council
may face further spending reductions, so we must be all mindful of this
and should make savings wherever possible.
I would like to Michelle Hollinrake and Debbie Ratcliffe for the
tremendous work and dedication they show to the service. My thanks also
to all members, who without we would not have a valued service. Finally,
thank you to all members of the executive committee for their support of
Shopmobility.
It is indeed a service for which we can all be rightly proud.
Yours sincerely
Councillor Ashley Dearnley
CHAIRPERSON
Treasurers Report Year 202112022
I have looked in detail at the accounts for 2021122
Income has decreased in the last year namely due to the unavailability off
'one grants. During the previous accounting year, we received
£17,472 in Government Grants due to closures during the Covid
pandemic.
Overall expenditure has deceased by just over £2,000 which is testament
to the due diligence of Michelle Hollinrake and Debra Radcliffe who
continually strive to make appropriate savings and explore income
generating opportunities.
We have £2,469 to cany forward to 2021122 and will need to secure
funding for 2022123. For this financial year the Council has agreed to
increase their grant to £35,000 which will cover salaries.
We are continuing to apply for funding to Charity grant and other
providers to help fund the coming years.
Usage and Membership income has grown over the last year and as the
High Street continuesto recover this is expected to grow further kn
2022123.
On behalf of colleagues, I would like to thank Rochdale Borough Council
for their continuing support of the Charity and I would also like to thank
Michelle, Debbie and all the Committee Members who give their time
and energy to ensure that we provide a service fit for pury)ose for
residents and visitors to Rochdale.
We remain dedicated and committed to continuing this service that
benefits Rochdale Borough residents and Town Centre visitors, and look
forward to welcomÉng back members old and new in the near future.

Managers, Report 202112022
The impact on our finances during the Covid pandemic was a huge
problem for us moving fonvard as we worried that people would still be
wary of coming into the Town Centre and that this would have a further
detrimental effect on our income. We are very pleased to say that our
usage and membership have grown over the last year and we expect that
to continue. We do however envisage that the cost of living increases
will have an adverse effect on our members, ability to travel to Rochdale
Town Centre and we may see a decline in usage again.
We are very pleased that the new Mayor Cllr Rashid nominated us as one
of the beneficiaries of the 2021122 Mayors Charity Fund which will be
awarded in the next financial year. We would like to thank him for all his
hard work raising funds for his chosen Charities in difficult times.
I would like to thank Rochdale Borough Council as ever for continuing to
support our service financially with an Annual Grant and for agreeing to
cover the full cost of salaries for 2022/23. 1 would like to thank Cllr
Ashley Dearnley, Chairperson for putting a case forward for more
support. This will help to keep the Charities finances in order in these
difficult economic times for the next financial year and will ensure that
people with mobility problems are still able to visit Rochdale Town
Centre with ease and enjoyment.
I would also like to thank Deborah Ratcliffe our Scheme Assistant as
ever, who has given continuing support to myself and all our members of
Rochdale Borough Shopmobility.
Rochdale Borough Shopmobility would not be able to provide the range
of services without the dedicated support of our Executive Committee
who I would Iike to thank as ever on behalf of the Staff and all the
Shopmobility Members.

ROCHDALE BOROUGH SHOPMOBILITY
REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
ROCHDALE BOROUGH SHOPMOBILITY
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 Mah 2022 as set out on pages 4 to 7.
Respeetlve responsibilities of trus¢ee5 and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the acwunts. The charity's knistees consider that an
audit is not required for this year under se¢tion 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (th¢ 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
to follow the pro¢edures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 145 (5)(b) of the Act. and
to state whether parti¢ular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the g¢neral Directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the chlty and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includ¢s consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and
seeking explanations from you as ttwstees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would b¢ required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to wh¢th¢r the acwunls
present a 'true and fair view, and the report is liinited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's gtAtement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which giv¢s m¢ reasonable cause to believ¢ that in any material respect the requirements..
to keep accounting records in a¢cordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the ac¢ountin8
requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met- or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
a¢counts to be reached.
