The Covid Pandemic has continued to impact our work. As the majority of our members are classed as extremely or clinically vulnerable, we had to suspend some of our our usual groups and classes for part of the year. the year. year.

Our members’ mental health and self confidence continued to be affected by the lack of social contact during this time therefore we made sure that as many as possible were given home visits once lockdown measures allowed. This included meetings in outside spaces, gardens and walks wearing the necessary PPE. Referrals to the appropriate agencies were made where necessary.

We have continued to run and maintain our own mini bus which will be used to transport people to groups and for outings.

All our trustees are aware of the guidance on public benefit and follow this when making decisions that impact on the operations of HSS-RC

It is my responsibility to:

e to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 the 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.

- e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
