Recruitment & appointment of trustees

Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of one year after which they must be re elected at the Annual General Meeting.

Organisational structure

The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. There is a coordinator who manages the day to day administration of the charity.

Risk management

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at the current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees are aware of the charity's non-reliance on funding from local government and efforts will be made to increase self generated income.

Section a of the Charities Act 2011

The trustees actively review guidance issued by the Charity Commission as required by Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011, to ensure compliance with such guidance.

Objectives & Activities

The charity's objects and its principal activities are to assist in improving the quality of life of Turkish and Kurdish people in England. Principle activities include; Welfare, Supporting families, General Advice, Training and other allied services to the Turkish & Kurdish speaking community.

Development, Activities and Achievements

The trustees consider that the charity's activities in meeting its objectives have been satisfactory during the year under review. DSCC's Management Committee, staff and volunteers continue to work closely with the members of the community to preserve and enhance the identity of the Charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Report to the trustees of DSCC on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 5-6-7-8-9

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

● examine the accounts under sec�on 145 of the Chari�es Act,

●to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

● to state whether par�cular ma�ers have come to my a�en�on.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accoun�ng records in accordance with sec�on 130 of the Chari�es Act 2011; and

●to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
