**CABMEN'S SHELTER FUND**
**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 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 Fund's main objective is to supply Cabmen with shelters in which they can have protection from wind and rain, snow and frost in winter and from the sun in summer.
## **Significant activities**
The Charity maintains and upkeeps thirteen shelters throughout Central London. The shelters are made of wood and require regular upkeep and maintenance. The shelters are occupied by tenants who provide food, refreshment and shelter to cab drivers during the day and, in respect of some of the shelters, during the night. The tenants pay a weekly contribution to the charity out of their income. The contribution received is used to cover the ongoing costs of the shelter, such as rates and repairs. The charity also provides the shelter with basic equipment, such as refrigerators, microwaves, etc. The tenants that operate from the shelters cover the electrically and gas bills from their own income.
The shelters are a unique feature of London's heritage and need to be protected and maintained for future generations of cab drivers and the general public.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Review of activity**
During the year the shelter tenants contributed £36,905 (2019 £97,092) towards the maintenance of the shelters. Donations received amounted to £Nil (2019 £9,001). Due to a significant reduction in the income of the charity arising from the Covid -19 pandemic, local authorities contributed £70,000 towards the shelters.
The maintenance and upkeep of the shelters amounted to £104,508 (2019 £82,931), which included governance costs of £4,308 (2019 £4,100).
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The unrestricted funds of the Charity amounted to £66,040 (2019 £63,643) at the balance sheet date. The Charity's policy is to build up sufficient reserves to enable it to hold a minimum of one year's charitable expenditure. By holding this level of reserves, the Trustees are of the opinion that this will enable the charity to meet unforeseen repairs and fluctuations in contributions from shelter tenants.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The Fund was established in 1875 and is currently governed by a Trust Deed dated September 1949.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Cabmen's Shelter Fund**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Cabmen's Shelter Fund**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Cabmen's Shelter Fund (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## **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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.
