The DATIC Trust Trustees Annual Report

Trustees' report

The trustees are pleased to present their report and financial statements of the charity for year ended 31 December 2020

Structure Governance & management

The Charity is operated under the rules of its trust deed dated 15 January 1981 and most recently amended 22 April 2009.

Overall management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the trust deed. Day to day project activity is managed and carried out by volunteers and paid staff.

Objects of the charity

The trust was established for the advancement of the Christian faith in the city of Sheffield and neighbourhood and in particular the promotion of the Christian faith amongst the residents in Darnall, Attercliffe and Tinsley who originate from countries outside of the United Kingdom.

Reserves Policy

The Datic Trust is a Registered Charity and has agreed that it needs to hold financial reserves in a realisable form so as to deal with possible unforeseen expenditure which is not specifically provided for in the annual budget.

This includes sufficient to (please note this list is not exhaustive) :

There is currently £173,938 held in unrestricted funds.

However, the trustees feel that it is more prudent to calculate the reserves figure without the inclusion of fixed assets as they are largely represented by the value of the building that is owned by the DATIC Trust and in the event of the building being sold to raise cash, the charity would effectively no longer exist in it's current form.

So in effect, the true position is:

Unrestricted reserves balance = 173,938 Less unrestricted fixed assets = (140,000) Revised unrestricted reserves = 33,938

Trustees' report

Summary of the main achievements during the period

Like most charities, the activities of DATIC Trust were considerably curtailed in 2020 due to the Corona virus pandemic. Nevertheless we are pleased to report on what has been accomplished within the restrictions that have constrained us.

Our trustees met on schedule via videoconference three times during the year. So once again we were able to safeguard the good standards of our ministry, to ensure financial accountability and to make decisions to advance the aims of the Trust. In addition a special trustees’ meeting was held by videoconference in May to review our activities in the light of the latest government guidelines. Our administrator was still able to work from home due to the timely decision to transfer all our electronic files to an online storage system, However, we reluctantly agreed it was necessary to furlough our community worker. Following a further review he was able to work reduced hours from August until the end of the year.

Early in the year covidrisk assessments were made for each activity and for the community house. The later was made covid-safe. This enabled some activities to continue in a modified form at various periods during the year in accordance with government guidelines. However, the house was still closed for a total of 7 months of the year.

During the year the unpredictable changes due to the pandemic had an impact on our activities. Considerable creativity was shown by our personnel to safely maintain contact with those in the community who would normally attend our activities. Our workers and volunteers made contact through phone calls, WhatApp groups, doorstep visits, socially distant walks and zoom meetings. Craft packs were distributed to children’s homes, and Christmas hampers delivered. Some one-to-one English lessons were provided online.

Our publicity was improved during the year with a new website, new publicity leaflets, and experimenting with a short video update for use by support groups.

During this year the trust has done significant work in the area of safeguarding, including safer recruiting.

Volunteers continue to run most of our activities. Some have understandably stood down during the year but a solid core of volunteers ensures we will be ready to fully relaunch all activities when the government guidelines allow.

A number of training events had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Nevertheless some personnel who serve with the trust have undertaken relevant online training, such as safeguarding. The latter ensuresthat we comply with statutory requirements.

The DATIC Trust

Trustees' report

It has now been two years since the last review of the trust’s activities. The covidslowdown provided an opportunity to launch an Impact and Evaluation Review of the DATIC outreach activities. Volunteer teams serving children, women, and men each began working through their short and long term objectives (one and three years respectively). It is already proving an insightful and motivational process. In the coming year (2021) the teams will begin to implement their plans. We are hopeful that as we move forward we will see a growing impact that fulfils the aims of the trust.

Relationship building and cooperation between DATIC trust and other organisations in the Darnall area has been maintained where possible this year.

We continued to improve our Galeed House premises with regular maintenance and upgrading of our facility. The purchase of two gazebos facilitated larger numbers to use the premises keeping social distance, and the continuation of other activities when only outdoor meeting was permitted.

The Trust's finances remain stable. We have been heartened during this difficult year to receive ongoing support from individuals and from existing and new funding agencies. We are thankful to all who support us financially.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of

The DATIC Trust

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 8 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

q to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

q to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

q to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

q to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
