TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
A new Board of Trustees was elected at the previous AGM on 10110122 and it has been a
very busy year to date. It was not an easy transition., past recorded history of the
previous trustees was not handed over which made things difficult. However, the new
trustees worked hard with the manager to rectify what was missing.
New trustee roles for the board were created, and the aims of the new trustees are to
help move the charity foNard for the future.
The Offi￿ located in Q park has had a make-over and is now looking tidy and
efficient. Second-hand furniture was donated by Birketts in Chelmsford. A huge thank
you to all those people who organized and helped with installing new cupboards. A thank
you letter was sent to Birketts to acknowledge their generous donation.
The charity made a successful application to Essex Community Foundation and was
awarded £3,000. From this award new computer hardware was purchased and the
remainder (£1,000) was put towards electricity costs.
Qpark, the landlords for the charity office and storeroom required the charity to pay for
the installation of electricity meters as their sponsorship of electricity costs was ending.
The work has now been completed and the charity will pay the landlord directly for the
charity's usage monthly.
A register of vehicle checks has been established and thanks go to Russell, Geoff and
Greig for their sterling efforts in maintaining vehicle safety. We are now able to buy
batteries at cost, as Shopmobility UK have brokered a deal with MK batteries on the
behalf of all shopmobility services UK- wide. This is a significant saving compared to
previous years.
The bookshop is not doing as well as previously hoped since taking out a lease. The
lease has one more year left to run, the charity cannot end the lease sooner. The
trustees are looking for ways to enhance sales and make the best of the last year of the
lease. The trustees will also be looking how they can take the bookshop past August
2024. The bookshop is still run by a team of volunteers and the chartty thanks them for
all their efforts.
Volunteers in the office continue to support the charity by processing the daily hiring of
mobility scooters and wheelchairs and holiday-hire equipment. They also provide a point
of contsct and provide information for people with disabilities whether permanent or
temporary. The Trustees would like to thank the office volunteers for their continued and
loyal support.

things do not change for the better within the next year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
I report on the accounts of Meadows Shopmobility for the year ended 31 March 2023
which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and 8xaminer
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 2011 (The AGt) but that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners (under section 145{5){bl of the Charities Act, and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examlner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. 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 considerations 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the aGGounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In the Gourse of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect..
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act., or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records- or
the accounts did not comply wth the applicable requirements concerning the
form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and
Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a
true and fairf view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent
examination.
I have come across no other matters in conneGtion with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts
to be reached.

1. Accounting policiès (continued)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions
are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the
revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the
revision affects both current and future periods.
