Chairman's Report- Cont'd You will all be aware of the difficulties of getting onto the rola. RecNitment of new riders and drivers has been reduced, but we will maintain an agreed level to support our operational requirements. We will also continue lo review our offering in respecl of Ihe service we provide. Day time support has increased significantly from our pre-covid service. As restrictions ease, we can hopefully expect the Pharmacies r81iance on our help to ease. Subsequently as the NHS starts to retuffl lo normal, I would expect our night time requests to increase to pre covid levels. The Queens Award for Voluntary Service. You will have possibly noticed some Blood Bike Groups proudly display the fact they were awarded this accolade. We submitted an application in 2017 but were not successful. This precluded us from applying again for 3 years and then only if something had changed with our service from the last application. A team consisting of Caroline (Trustee). Tim and myself, dusted off our previous application and set about updating it to cover our new daytime offerings. Applications have to be supported by two sponsors, who write supporting letters which is an important and key enabler. Pharmacy departments at both Portsmouth Hospital and Hampshire Hospitals agreed to 5UPPOrt our application, which we subrnitted in September 2020. We have so far progressed through the various stages of the application and I would like lo say a particular thank you to Caroline who worked with both QA and Hampshire Hospital Chief Pharmacists and Chief Executives to deliver a very strong bid for SERV Wessex. I would also like to thank Lillian Hobbs and Kenny Lister who were interviewed along with Tim and myself by the psentatiVe of the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire as part of the selection progress. Thanks lo all Ihose thal also volunteered but were nol required. Everyone did a sterfing job and we received great feedback from the Deputy Lord Lieutenant following the interviews. We should hear towards the end of May if we are successful in our application. Finally, I would like lo thank you all for your support over the past year and especially the hard-working fellow members of the Committee and the Trustees for their continued and enthusiastic support, who work tirelessly in the background lo keep the great charity thal is SERV Wessex operating.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of ‘SERV Wessex’ Charity – Reg No. 1156383
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on page 1.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
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 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given 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 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 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 next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
have not been met or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
