Risk Review
The Trustees have conducted their own review ol the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. and
systems have been established to mitigate these risks. These procedures are revSewed annually to
ensure they Still meet the needs of the Charity.
The year under review
During the year we have worked on behalf of our membership and members of the public purchasing
items for sale.
It has been a difficult year, due in part to the loss of trustoes and volunteers and dlfflculty in recruitin8
new one5. but also tts Sncreasing costs both in rnainten3nce of scooters and overheads.
We have 3150 invested some of our reserves in new equipment to replace that lost through serappage,
a new website and new office furniture.
However, after a dip in the middle of the financial year, we have been able to find more volunteer5 and
been able to sncrease our workload as well as increase the number of member5 to whom we can hire
equipment, the main source of our income.
So. after what was lookin8 to be an overall si8nificant deficit has turned into a modest surplus Df £120,
with over £4500 spent on acquired assets, including the recornmissioning of our website, using some
of last yearfs surplus.
Hire income has intreased to almost last yearfs total. and we have been able to maintain roughly the
same number ol items of equipment for hire larournd 1001 of which around 80 have been out on hlre.
long and short-term, at any one time to 3 total of over 150 members (same as last yearl In addition to
the seryice or repair of the equipment of 30 others Icompared with over 50 last yearl.
The total value of our assets has decreased only slightly to around £40,500 Irorn £43.800, and the
average value of scooters has dropped to around £330.
Donations and scooter sales were down. ènd maintenance costs went up, but other costs were around
the same.
Membership grew to 197 including volunteers and trustees from last year's 151 Imernbers only).
We have again worked with several partners, including those making referrals to U5 trorn Blandford
Community Hospital and Ioc31 GP practices, housing providers and social Services and the charity of
William William5. which in additlon to supplyin8 specialist equipment to our member has given us
donatlon of £lOOO.
We are graieful to have received a large number of other donations, both in cash and equlpment, and
fundraising on our behalf by one ot our members.
We have maintsined our opening hours for the public of 12 hours a week. but the work of our Trustees
and volunteer5 frequently exceeded that total.
