GRIMSBY, CLEETHORPES & DISTRICT DIAL-A-RIDE TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT - YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year or period that give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit 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.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures being disclosed and explained in the accounts.
-
Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Objectives, principal activity & organization structure
Grimsby, Cleethorpes & District Dial-A-Ride is a company limited by guarantee number 3168259, incorporated on 6 March 1996, and registered with the Charity Commission on 23 April 1996, charity number 1054823.
The charity’s objective, stated in its Memorandum and Articles of Association, is to provide flexible, accessible transport for people who find it difficult to use public transport due to illness, disability or age.
Trustees/Directors
Trustees of the charity are also directors of the company and are appointed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) with casual vacancies during the year filled by co-option. The names of the present trustees are listed on page 2, which also shows all others who served as trustees/directors during the year being reported. The trustees meet at monthly intervals. The company is limited by guarantee, rather than share capital, so no trustees hold any shares in it. Take up of training courses specifically aimed at trustees is encouraged. Locally such courses are run by Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire, to which Dial-A-Ride is affiliated.
Review of the year

GRIMSBY, CLEETHORPES & DISTRICT DIAL-A-RIDE TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT - YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2022
April 2021 saw us still in a lockdown although the end was in sight with mid-May being spoken about for the lifting of restrictions. All we needed now was to try and entice all our volunteer drivers back to pre-covid levels. Unfortunately some of the drivers declined to return for various reasons, some being other commitments, personal or family.
So we now had 8 buses, down from 9, with a complement of 11 drivers. Thankfully, as the restrictions came off, demand from our members increased very gradually so we (up to a point) were able to manage things on a first-come basis while making our members aware that at present we could not provide the service that we used to prior to covid.
Passengers Carried (Aid Type) between 1/4/2021 and 1/4/2022 were as follows, with the previous year’s figures in brackets:

Thanks once again to our dedicated office staff, Marianne, Fiona and Ken, who started selling items through various car boot sales, online market sites and pick-ups from the office. These activities culminated in the following amounts being raised: £764.11 (car boot) £121.00 (online or collected from office) Total: £885.11
One of our biggest challenges now is to recruit some new drivers, which is proving exceptionally challenging, as people do not seem to want to volunteer for no monetary reward.
We are still not out of the woods at the moment but feel more hopeful now than we did this time last year and again give personal thanks to all the office staff and volunteer drivers for helping to get DAR through another very tough year.
Reserves Policy
The trustees do not consider it necessary or appropriate to set a formal reserves policy at the present time. Dial-A-Ride’s closing unrestricted reserves of £38K, excluding tangible fixed assets, a reduction to the level prior to the distortions of last year. Assuming that activities return to their pre-pandemic level, cash flow should continue to be adequate to meet both the charity’s normal running costs and finance lease obligations.
Small Company exemptions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within the Companies Act 2006.
Approved by the Directors and signed on their behalf by:
John Shepherd Director & Chair of the Trustees

Independent Examiner’s Report
Report to the trustees/directors of Grimsby, Cleethorpes & District Dial-ARide (company number 3168259 & registered charity number 1054823) on accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 as set out on pages 1 to 11.
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (‘the Trust’) for the year ended 31 March 2022
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees, 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
For a third consecutive year, the charity failed to hold an Annual General Meeting so the 2018/19, 2019/20 & 2020/21 accounts have not been tabled at an AGM. Internal controls for bank accounts appear to allow one individual to have effective sole charge of transaction instructions to the bank rather than mandatory dual authorization.
I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act, or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
Beyond the above observations, I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
