Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
For the public benefit the preservation of health of disabled adults with learning difficulties living in West Yorkshire, particularly but not exclusively through the provision of day time support accessible for young adults and disabled students with a learning disability.
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 relief of those in need by reason of disability.
Achievements and performance
Due to Covid-19 restrictions all our planned fundraising activities for the year had to be cancelled.
We are all hoping that for the next financial year will be able to plan and go forward with all our events.
Financial review
The net receipts for the year were £9,208, which were all on unrestricted funds.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. 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 continue as a going concern
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves at the year end were £11,643.
The trustees have decided to adopt a lower limit and an upper limit for the amount of cash reserves within the charity. In setting the lower limit the trustees have considered the level of expenses, based on projected figures which may be required to a cover a period of 12 months without any income and the costs of an orderly wind up of the charity should that be required.
In setting the upper limit, the trustees have considered the maximum amount of cash reserves that it should hold. The policy is in place to prevent the cash reserves of the charity accumulating over time to the point where the charity could be considered to not be deploying its cash reserves appropriately to meet its charitable objectives.
The upper limit is £15,000
The lower limit is £5,000
