The Trustees, for the purposes of the Charities Act 1993 as amended and Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2005, submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued in March 2005 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Charity. The Charity is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, AIMS AND ORGANISATION OF THE CHARITY

-
Provision in overseas countries of funding to provide a fully -equipped diagnostic centre with fully equipped radiological, sonographic, medical laboratory and mammographic facilities for optimum diagnosis of diseases and pathologies.
-
Provision in the UK and Overseas of finance to raise awareness on recognising the early signs of stroke, Prevention and the impact of strokes.
-
Provision of financial support to charities whose objects are the advancement of health or the saving of lives.
THE MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE ORGANISATION DURING THE PERIOD WERE:
- Since the Charity is in its sprouting stage and needs raising sufficient fund, much financial commitments were not made during this period.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
We intend to continue to promote human rights worldwide with special emphases in South Asia.
INCOME GENERATION
The charity was able to raise £10,100 from commencement till 30[th] September 2022. This was raised within the efforts of the trustees and via a grant from a funding organisation.
Hopefully, we hope to do better in the following year by soliciting supports from non-trustees
RISKS
The factors that may affect the Charity’s delivery of its objectives include:
-
a) Reputation of Charity and the relationship with the community.
-
b) Ability to generate enough funds to successfully complete the identified projects for the charity.
DRIVE DIAGNOSTICS AID (DDA)produces an annual plan for delivery against its objectives. This plan sets out the targets for the year and is then broken down to a work plan. DRIVE DIAGNOSTICS AID (DDA)has developed a strategy, which specifies how it will deliver the key programmes of work. The strategy also identifies targets and performance indicators.
RESERVES POLICY
The Charity aims to build reserve which will enable it to meet its average annual operational need. The Trustees review the reserves held by the Charity on a regular basis to ensure that an appropriate level of funds is held to meet the above policy of the Charity going forward.

Governance and internal control
A Board of Trustees governs the Charity. New Trustees are selected by the Board of Trustees and are subject to re-election every five years. At 30 September 2022, the Board had a membership of four people.
The Board meets quarterly a year to agree key policy decisions, set the strategy for the charity and oversee its performance. At present the Board has committee members who are responsible for the day-to-day activities of the charity. None of the committee members is being remunerated.
All Trustees receive the handbook for Trustees provided through the Charity Commission. Each Trustee will have an induction programme by other Trustees and receive an information pack on the Charity and its finances. Beyond this the Charity follows the code of practice for governance produced by the Governance Hub.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which comply with the Charities Act 1993 as amended
The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
They include:
-
A strategic plan and annual budget approved by the Trustees;
-
Regular consideration by the Trustees of financial results, in particular variance from budget; and
-
Delegation of authority and segregation of duties.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (2005), the Charity Act 1993 and applicable UK accounting standards.
Cash flow statement
Under FRS 1 the Charity is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the grounds that the charity is below the threshold specified in Appendix 2 of the FRS1.
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund are set out in Note 2.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The grant income where related to performance and specific deliverables are accounted for as the Charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Where income is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income being received, the income is accrued.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs 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. Premises overheads have been allocated on a floor basis and other overheads have been allocated on the basis of the head count.
Community project costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the objects of the Charity. The community project cost includes other support costs incurred in support of the objects of the Charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with governance arrangement of the Charity, which relate to the general running of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
