DRIVING MOBILITY

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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).

In managing the activities of Driving Mobility, the trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The overall object of the charity is "to relieve and assist people with physical and cognitive impairments, as well as those people with impaired mobility, or those who may be vulnerable to such conditions, by reason of age or infirmity; and to promote the improvement of standards of driving and the advancement of road safety and travel".

In the furtherance of these objectives, Driving Mobility seeks to undertake as many high-quality assessments as they can in any one year and provide Information, Advice and Guidance through its network of Centres.

Activities, Achievements and performance

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the business of Driving Mobility in 2020/21 with three periods of lockdown during which the Mobility Centres had to stop offering driving assessments, although some wheelchair and scooter assessments continued. The Driving Mobility Board took the decision during the first lockdown to divert some of their unrestricted financial resources towards the provision of PPE for Centres to enable them to restart with maximum efficiency when allowed to do so in July 2020. Similarly the Board took a similar decision to provide lateral flow test kits for Centres during March 2021 to enable an efficient re-start on 12th April. These financial resources were monies which had been nominally budgeted at the beginning of the year for activities such as Education programmes, Networking meetings and Accreditation costs.

During the lockdown periods, the staff at Driving Mobility continued to work, focussing on activities which would support the Centres into the future. These included reworking the website, the acquisition of Shopmobility UK, and planning activities for diversification programmes.

Public benefit

As a registered charity, Driving Mobility accredits a network of 20 driving assessment centres. Many with outreach facilities, these centres include independent charities and NHS centres which offer professional information and assessment so that older people and those with a disability can gain or retain independence.

Driving Mobility ensures that there are common standards, promotes good practice and offers training and education to all regional centres, whilst working closely with associated national organisations. These include the Department for Transport (DfT), Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), Driver & Vehicle Agency in Northern Ireland (DVA), Motability, NHS Trusts and the Police, along with many other valued stakeholders.

Our overall strategy for 2020/2021, was to assist the Mobility Centres as far as possible with minimising the (financial) effects of the pandemic, which included liaison with funding bodies and the negotiation of pragmatic solutions in the face of a very difficult trading environment.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Trustees have established a policy whereby unrestricted funds that are not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ("the free reserves") held by the charity should be in excess of £100,000. At this level, which is reviewed periodically, the Trustees believe that the charity would be able to continue to operate at its current level of activity for six-months as well as cover closure costs, were that to be required. The charity's available free reserves are £228,259.

The Trustees have made the decision to use some of these reserves to support ongoing development activities within the UK, retaining £100,000 in general funds, the balance of free funds is included in a development reserve for this purpose.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DRIVING MOBILITY

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Driving Mobility ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCA which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost 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.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost Motor vehicles - 20% on cost, 10% on cost and not depreciated

The Trustees have implemented a policy of non-depreciation of certain vehicles used to deliver its charitable purposes, which are purchased at a discount and may be sold after a period of 3 years.

The previous policy of depreciating these vehicles at 10% or 20% on a straight line basis resulted in surpluses arising on disposal, therefore a policy of non-depreciation has been implemented going forwards so that the book value more closely reflects the market value at the time of disposal.

Vehicles which are expected to be held for longer periods of time will continue to be depreciated at a rate of 10% per annum.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
