Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 November 2021
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
- 1) The preservation and protection of health and the saving of lives by raising awareness of road safety and the consequences of road traffic collisions.
2) To provide relief to families living in West Yorkshire who have suffered the death of a dependent son/daughter (up to the age of 25 years) as a result of road traffic collision in particular through: (A) providing financial assistance to pay for funeral services which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means, (B) providing practical advice and signposting to other relevant organisations for specialist support.
The charity's main activities
We deliver a powerful presentation in schools to raise awareness of the consequences of irresponsible driving to future and current drivers.
We provide emotional and financial support by way of a grant towards funeral costs for bereaved parents who lose a child up to the age of 25 on the roads of West Yorkshire.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education.
Achievements and performance
Due to the pandemic our school presentations have been dramatically reduced. However, the bookings are now coming in and hopefully things will soon return to normal so we can continue to raise awareness of irresponsible driving to our future drivers.
Financial review
The net receipts for the year were £8,558 which are all on unrestricted funds.
Although our school presentations and other fundraising have been impacted by the pandemic, the trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £41,301.
The trustees have set aside reserves for unexpected incidents. As we help bereaved parents cover the cost of funerals in West Yorkshire it is unknown how many parents need support each year. If funds continue to increase above the current level we will expand our support across the whole of Yorkshire.
