preceding this are made available if required. All trustees will be issued with the Charities commission

RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have carried out a risk management review, which involved identifying the type of risks
facing the Charity, prioritizi ng them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occu rrence, and
identifying ways of mitigating the risks.
In the opinion of the Trustees the charity has resources and review systems in place which, under normal
conditions, should show the risks to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to-day operations.
RESERVES POLICY
Funds are retained by the Charity in Reserves to provide for future expenditure needs. The Charity look5
to hold free reserves at a level of £80,000 to meet future expenditure. It was decided in the year to raise
the threshold of restricted funds from £40,000 to £60,000 in consideration to sufficiently cover
approximately 3 months running costs. The other £20,000 is held to replace vehicles with new or second
hand a5 necessary.

TRUSTEES. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
This last year wa5 challenging in terms of Chariotts finances, unfortunately despite our best efforts, we
were unable to maintain the stability of our previous 12 months. Our income versus expenditure deficit
increased, and we had to spend more to keep the service running than we earned. As mentioned last year,
demand for the service has decreased in recent years and we still operate below capacityi although there
are some early signs of an upturn in journey requests from our wheelchair user members.
Alan Story has done a sterling job with his fundraising efforts, in what has become a very competitive and
challenging environment. Through his endeavours we have been able to maintain our fleet upgrade
program. In these next 12 months, we will be working to re-establish financial stability; applying to
various trusts and organisations for funding support to help us meet our financial objectives. On behalf of
our membership and everyone involved with Chariotts, thank you to Wrexham County Borough Council for
their ongoing financial support, which is vital to our existence, Thank you, al50, to all our benefactors over
the last year, your donations are most gratefully received, every penny helps and 15 very much
appreciated.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CHARIOTTS
We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024 which are set out on
pages 4 to 8.
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 2DII (the 2011 Act)
and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent examiner's report
Our examination was carrled 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 account5 present a "trLJe and fair view" and the
report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection wlth our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
l). which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Att; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met. or
2). to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
