REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The relief of people with disabilities and their families for the public benefit in particular but not exclusively by:
o Providing opportunities for them that support and enable the creation of sustained life strategies, healthy lifestyles and support networks with the aim of promoting social cohesion and a greater understanding between them and different social groups;
o Challenging perceptions of disability and other marginalised sectors of society and by supporting the creation of a community where all people can be regarded as equals irrespective of personal situation;
o Creating a rural environment where people with disabilities can develop strategies and initiatives that aim to prevent or reduce poverty and isolation/exclusion through the creation of personal and educational training opportunities alongside other minority groups; and by
o Providing them with opportunities to develop themselves, experience greater community support and networking for their benefit without fear of judgement or discrimination.
Significant activities
The main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objectives are as follows;
o Outdoor training and activities for groups and individuals o Crisis intervention
o Advocacy and support
Public benefit
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Volunteers
We continue to receive support from volunteers within our community for a number of activities based around outdoor learning and development of our horticulture programmes.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
As a charity we are finding the current climate difficult to navigate financially, which has impacted our abilities to offer all of the range of activities that we normally offer. We have continued to offer advice and advocacy to others and have sought out partnerships that may strengthen the charity in the future.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
We feel that we are in a very challenging climate this year. The impact following decisions made by the WG in relation to holiday cottages has been huge to us, with a big loss in non restricted funding for core costs. We have also struggled to find suitable charitable funding streams due to changes following the pandemic.
Principal funding sources
Our principle source of funding was from a legacy grant.
We will continue to seek out opportunities for funding via charitable grants over the coming year.
Investment policy and objectives
We will continue to invest in our community and our staff and endeavour to find opportunities for them to continue to develop by offering opportunities for learning and training.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
We would like to hold reserves of £1,000 to allow for emergency repairs and expenditure, if at all possible however the impact Coronavirus has continued to affect our income.
Going concern
The challenges of Coronavirus followed by the financial climate has meant that funding opportunities are extremely sparse. We will continue to seek out bids from our regular funders as well as looking for new opportunities.
Principal Risks
The principal risks facing the charity are as follows;
o General change in the charitable grants available and economic climate at the moment
o Change to WG policy around holiday homes means we have changed our development plans and have less access to unrestricted funding.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The charity has not appointed any new trustees in the period.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DAL DY DIR
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dal Dy Dir
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Dal Dy Dir (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection 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.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost
