## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
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 2022. 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. Due to gross assets being over £3.26 million and gross annual income of more than £250,000, a full audit of the charity finances and governance is being conducted.
## **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.
With the appearance of Covid-19 and the ensuing lock-downs, the pandemic had a profound effect on the business of Driving Mobility in 2020/21 and this effect has continued, to a lesser extent, into 2021/22.
## **Public benefit**
As a registered charity, Driving Mobility accredits a network of 20 driving assessment centres covering the whole of the UK. Many with outreach facilities, these centres include independent charities and NHS centres which offer professional information and assessment so that disabled and elderly people 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 2021/22, as documented in the annual Business Plan, was to develop on a number of fronts to ensure we bring the best service possible to the greatest number of people within our target group.
In the Business Plan we undertook to grow through the provision of new services in our traditional discipline of Driving Assessment and at the same time to diversify into new provision.
Underpinning these two strategies we were to develop the Services & Infrastructure of Driving Mobility itself, to better support our member Mobility Centres.

**DRIVING MOBILITY**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **GROWTH**
This year we opened a new centre in Glasgow with three staff operating two days a week. Demand began to increase and towards the end of the year we increased operations to three days (6 assessments) per week. We are indebted to the Manchester and Belfast centres for their assistance in the training and providing cover for the new staff, also to Colin Barnett for acting as project manager. Our main focus going forward is to establish a funding route through the Scottish Government and to this end have had discussions with the Minister for Health and various MSPs in the course of the past year.
In 21/22 we transferred our university educational provision from the University of Chester to Oxford Brookes University and our first intake of level 4 and level 7 students will complete their first three modules in June. The transition has not been without its pitfalls, mainly linked to new ways of working drawn from the in-depth review we conducted in 2019. On the whole the process has gone extremely well, mainly due to the herculean efforts of our Personal Academic Tutors all of whom laboured far beyond the call of duty to ensure that this was done properly. Their tenacity is applauded and we are all very grateful to them. We have also continued to develop the short course provision, although this has been held up considerably by the pandemic. To this end we have also started to mount online courses on an educational delivery platform, Moodle. In this environment we are currently revitalizing the induction course for new staff.
In the course of the year we conducted the annual round of centre accreditations, accrediting five of them for a further three years. In addition we have reviewed and revitalized the accreditation process to take account of outreach facilities, satellites and assessments other than driving. This is led by a new self-assessment questionnaire which mirrors the requirements of the operational standards.
In the field of international development, we have secured a contract with the Maltese government to train some of their staff in June 2022 and are close to securing a contract with the Qatari government to train some 10 of their staff in May. This endeavour involves six of our centres as well as partners Oxford Brookes University and the National Office for Traffic Medicine in Dublin. We have also continued to participate in CIECA activities and contribute to their educational and assessment programmes.
In the field of Research we have embarked upon a significant programme of research around the use of telematic devices for the prediction of driving performance in cases of Dementia/MCI, this is in collaboration with Sheffield University and the programme is funded by the Road Safety Foundation. We are also continuing research projects in other areas such as Dementia with the University of Newcastle. We have also organisationally developed a process for more effectively managing the research projects we are involved in.
We have continued to develop our referrals from the "Alternative to Prosecution" scheme with Police Forces across the country which, with the able assistance of consultant Rob Heard, has now increased to eight of them. In the latter part of this year however, a breakthrough was achieved with the declaration from NDORS that they wish to be a part of this initiative. This could be a game-changer and we would hope to become truly national in the course of the next year, with increasing numbers of referrals going forward.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **DIVERSIFICATION**
## **1. HUBs**
The HUB activity for the six pilot centres came to an end in July 2021 but the DfT supported the programme for these centres to continue to the end of February 2022 whilst they decided how to proceed.
The pilot HUBs had established themselves as a necessary provider of support for the disabled, elderly, anxious, lonely and frail. Taking the time to talk to people has proven itself again and again to benefit individuals, the reality being that they begin to look at things in a different way, reducing anxiety and loneliness levels demonstrably. The work was all about changing the mind-set, rather than just providing transport solutions. This resulted in a service which really should be available nationally and the DfT therefore took the decision to allocate £1.5M to this activity over the next three years.
## **2. PWMS**
We completed a project for the Road Safety Directorate of DfT in November 2021 which had entailed training retailers using a blended learning approach (Moodle plus a centre visit) and their being certificated as having attended. On the strength of this we have submitted a proposal for rolling out the scheme nationally which we hope will commence in 2022.
In support of this, and to diversify our services to the benefit of our clients, we developed a strategy to ensure that all of our Centres routinely deliver PWMS assessments, and do this in line with the standard procedure, that is having the knowledge expertise and experience in ALL class 2 and class 3 vehicles. Training to accomplish this is being delivered by WMC in the north and QEF in the south and in England will be centred around the Upgrade programme, supported by DfT, which will equip and train all of the centres to carry out these assessments.
## **3. Shopmobility**
The purpose of acquiring Shopmobility UK was to add to our holistic provision of services to the disabled, temporarily injured, young, elderly and frail. Although one or two of our centres were already Shopmobility Scheme members, the intention is not to encourage this any further but to get the Centres to work with Scheme members in their locality/region with a view to developing collective synergy.
In 21/22 we developed the Shopmobility scheme to include new members and harness the enthusiasm of the paid-up members for determining their own future, operating as a subsidiary of Driving Mobility. To this end we have set up a Board for ShopMobility UK, chaired by a ShopMobility manager, which meets quarterly to determine direction, objectives and activity. It is intended that all our 100 members work with the Hubs programme to develop a strong pipeline of referrals.
Other ways in which Hubs and Shopmobility UK as a combined force could achieve additionality may include linking in with local councils (and the joint transport planning agencies), private transport companies (such as First), car dealerships, Motability, disability equipment suppliers, community transport schemes, disability specific groups and possibly the NHS as well as Government transport agencies. This would provide a more integrated way of working which also supports the link between Driving Mobility and Shopmobility UK.
## **4. PRACDRIVA**
This project, to develop an online resource for practitioners in driving assessment, is progressing well and in the course of this year the website has been built and some content entered. The DfT has provided support which is being used for further content generation and management. A beta version will be launched in June.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **5. National Highways**
We undertook a contract for National Highways to develop training videos for use by their Traffic Officers for Disability Awareness and Adaptations Familiarity. This sprang out of an earlier very successful pre-covid contract to deliver face-to-face training as a pilot scheme at Derby DrivAbility. Through our continued participation in the regular disability forum run by National Highways, we can see possibilities for developing this line of work, using Moodle as a delivery vehicle, for other organisations such as the RAC, AA &c.
## **6. Restriction Codes**
We completed a training video on Restriction Codes in the course of the year which we have now rolled out for the use of our own staff as well as Motability, DVSA, ADDI, DfT, DVLA and others.
## **7. Driving Assessment Grant (DAG)**
DAG as a new project from Motability (the Charity) started operations in 2021. The intention is to fund individuals who have no financial resource to be able to afford an assessment and/or adaptations to a vehicle. Each individual is subjected to a means test to qualify for the scheme. Participating centres are required to collect a significant amount of pre- and post- assessment data, in a similar manner to that collected for the Hubs scheme. Demand has been patchy, probably mainly due to the pandemic, but we believe there is an underlying demand for the service which we aim to exploit going forward. The initial project was for £50K but in view of its success so far, we anticipate applying for further, more significant, funding in the course of 2022/23.
## **SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE**
In July 2021 DMis (the Driving Mobility Information System) went live, and was formally accepted by Driving Mobility in January 2022. It is now used by all of our full-member centres as a customer relationship management system. This innovation has not been without its challenges and we are still to complete the institutional referral systems (Motability and DVLA), the vehicle fleet management module and several developments requested by individual centres. We are grateful for the DfT support in this project and for the hard work and enthusiasm demonstrated by all centres in their efforts to reap the benefits of the new system.
Throughout the pandemic regular revisions of the Standard Operating Procedure for Mobility Centres under current conditions has been issued by the working group responsible for it. We are very grateful for their input. We are also grateful for all the other voluntary participation in our other working groups relating to Standards, Marketing, Exhibitions, DVLA, Vehicles, Research, Motability, and Education.
## **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 £154,303.
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.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Driving Mobility for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
## **AUDITORS**
The auditors, Lang Bennetts Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF DRIVING MOBILITY**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Driving Mobility (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
- In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 7
## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF DRIVING MOBILITY**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to GDPR, financial compliance (for example HMRC,the Charity Commission and Companies House), relevant regulatory standards in the sector in which the charity operates, employment matters and laws and regulations.
- We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:
- We made enquiries of the directors and management of any non-compliance of laws and regulations, potential litigation and claims or any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
- We considered the risk of fraud through management override.
- We considered the risk of fraud through revenue recognition.
Based on the results of our risk assessment, we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud, as follows:
- Legal fees were reviewed to identify any potential non-compliance of laws and regulations.
- We reviewed material manual journal entries for evidence of management override or fraud.
- We tested specific instances of grant revenue.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **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.
