a) Basis of accounting

:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the historical cost accounting rules and in accordance with the statement of recommended practice for charities.

b) Income Grant income, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they are received.

c) Charitable funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.

. Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the Charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

d) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of an asset less the estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows :-

Computer Equipment 50% on cost Fixtures, Fittings and other equipment 20% on cost

e) Cash flow statement

The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from producing a Cash Flow Statement on the grounds that it is a small company.

f) Going Concern At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concem basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. ;

----- End of picture text -----

2020 saw the second year of our three-year contract with D.A.C. commence which enable DECV to continue the work of providing employability and ICT skills for the unemployed in our area.

The 2nd year commenced in April 2020 at the beginning of the Pandemic lockdown, with the agreement of D.A.C. the tutor was able to organise a system of working remotely with leamers.

During this period 38 students attented the remote leaming sessions, all 38 gained OCR accreditation certificates and 12 individuals gained full time employment.

Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT)

Funding was provided by CRT learning and employability skills. Sessions started in November 2020 when the national lockdown was eased, and were completed by April 2021. By the end of this period 28 students had completed the course and received OCR accreditation, 6 students moved into employment.

Awards for All. (A for A)

Funding was provided by Awards for All for leaming and emplpyability skills. Sessions started in November 2020 and were completed by May 2021. At the end of this period 28 students completed the course and received OCR accreditation in IT and Life & Living Skills.

South Yorkshire Community Foundation (SYCF)

SYCF enabled funding, provided by The Wind Farm project, was used to enable ICT and employability skills training for 25 leamers. This commenced in January 2020 but had to be suspended in March 2020 asa result of restrictions enforced by the Coronavirus epidemic. The training re-started in August 2020 and was completed in October 2020.

BRELMS Trust

BRELMS trust supplied funding to provide [CT and Employability skills 1 day a week from April to July this enabled 8 students to gain OCR Qualifications.

Summary ofAchievements

The year 2020-2021 has been another success despite the lockdown and the pandemic, generous funding allocated to DECV, enabled us to provide learning opportunities to 127 students, of these 102 have gained OCR qualifications and 18 have gained full time employment.

All students are offered assistance/guidance to prepare a personal CV where required.

Flexibility from funders also allowed our tutor to develop a remote learning system, which has proved successful

:

The Universal Credit system has now been in place for a number of years, but the number of claimants requiring ICT assistance has not diminished. The ICT qualification and employability sessions are a good way of giving these individuals a confidence and motivation boost which hopefully will help them in the employment market.
