The Charities Trustees know what the Charities purposes are. and they understand how each purpose is for the public benefit. When making decisions about how to carry out the Charities purpose for public benefit, the Trustees will identify risks of harm, minimise risk of harm and make sure any harm that might arise is a minor consequence of carrying out the purpose. The Trustees will make decisions about who can benefit by giving proper consideration to the full range of ways in which the Charities purpose is carried out. When making decisions about how to carry out the Charity's purpose for the public benefit, the Trustees will make sure that personal benefits are no more than incidental by having regard both to its nature and to its amount and understand it could be a necessary result or by-product of carrying out the purpose. The organisation will not restrict access to its facilities and services.

This year has still seen significant reduction in group travel activity due to the economic climate, and also the requirement for our Training Manager to be able to spend more time in the development, production and marketing of the Dartsight product and ServiS.

Section F Other optional information Because of the MIDAS & PATS Training, 3rd Sector organisations have been able to be more independent and transport their members to various activities in a safe, economical and legal manner, improving the practical learning and experiences by their members. The provision of the transport services has been utilised by organisations who don't have access to suitable transport, and has also been invaluable to those organisations whose members have mobility difficulties, as the use of the passenger lift for wheelchair and easier access for people with walking frames and mobility difficulties has meant that those people have had the opportunity to travel to, and experience social activities and events that previously they had not been able to do due to the accessible restrictions of using other forms of transport, which has been a great benefit to their own wellbeing and social inclusion, reducing isolation and being a benefit to the community.
