D. Achievements and performance
The Global COVID-19 Pandemic meant that the 24[th] Annual Ski-trip to Prato Nevoso could not go ahead. Despite the understandable reasons, this was a cause of huge disappointment to the trustees and to the schools that usually participate.
In normal times, the trips are funded by a combination of parental contribution, school fundraising and SPENSOL grants. SPENSOL raises funds from direct grants, donations and fundraising events. SPENSOL does not have any employees and does not expect to require any, it is run through the voluntary help of the trustees and sub-committee members. SPENSOL is very grateful to all those who give their time for the benefit of young people with disabilities.
E. Financial Review
In accordance with Charity Commission requirements, the trustees and executive committee members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the organization. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the association and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees and executive committee have prepared the statements for the current period on a Receipts and Payments basis. Any reserves are used for the ongoing activities of the organization in furtherance of its charitable objectives.
