There is a written policy on the induction and training of trustees this includes issue of appropriate documentations, code of conduct of committee members, declaration of any potential conflicts of interest and information on the availability of continuation and development training. The elected committee members are responsible for the good governance of the charity including the appropriate modernisation of work practices. Committee members decide on strategic planning topics and agree policy for staff to implement in a manner which is keeping with the organisation’s objects. The committee have considered the requirement for free reserve. The committee have decided to enable the organisation to continue during a period of difficulty that it should seek to maintain free reserves equivalent to up to one year’s operation cost. 1 ## **Objects** The Objects are: To relieve elderly people, particularly those of Asian background, resident in the area of benefit who are in need, by providing day or domiciliary care, and items, services or facilities calculated to relieve the needs of such persons; To relieve people with learning or physical disabilities, particularly those of Asian background, resident in Kirklees and surrounding Districts (the area of benefit) who are in need, by providing day or domiciliary care, and items, services or facilities calculated to relieve the needs of such persons; To relieve people who are elderly or disabled resident in the area of benefit by the provisions of carers and by the provision of support and training to such carers. ## **Achievement and Performance** Currently Milen has 45 service users that benefit from the day care services provided by Milen Care. Services involve providing transport to and from the centre, regular outings, and exercise and health awareness sessions. Our services are geared in such a way that they provide mental, physical and spiritual stimulation in a warm, home-like environment. Milen Care dealt with 316 phone enquiries from service users this year. The service users appreciate the support and it is invaluable as it helps our users to maintain independence and the ability to remain in their own homes. Due to Covid19 restrictions and Lockdowns we had to provide a virtual service for the whole of the year which meant users were not able to attend our day care services in person. Therefore, our internal survey could not be carried out. We hope to resume this as soon as our services return to normal. This year has been very difficult for our users as they have been restricted to their homes due to Covid19. However, through our virtual services we have maintained contact with our users on a weekly basis ensuring they were safe and well. We have also provided food packs to those whom required meals and also any advice and support requirements. In preparation for return of our users for day care we made all the preparations including risk assessments and other necessary preparations and received support and advice from the Local Authority. However, the 2 Governments restrictions and safety of our users meant they were not able to attend in person during this period. We have also received financial assistance from the Local Authority to provide additional toilet facilities and a ramp at the side of the building to provide better access to our wheelchair users. Kirklees Council once again awarded Milen Care the maximum 5 stars for our kitchen standards of hygiene and compliance with law and a Gold Award for healthy eating. This report was approved by the Operational Management Group on 23[rd] June 2021. ## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** The Trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice. All funds received were utilised in line with the objects of the organisation and promoting day care opportunities at Milen Care. Due to Covid19 restrictions we were not able to have our AGM, we therefore gained agreement to continue the same Committee until we are able to have our next AGM in 2021.
