Trustees: H Meynell (Chairman) R Baker P Bardon D Cowan D Gray M Robson J Watson 

## **Annual Trustees Report** 

This has been a particularly difficult year for the association, as it has for many charities. With the onset of the COVID pandemic, all hires stopped and the Secretary was furloughed. 

Despite this, grants to restart the organisation were received and successful grant applications were undertaken to allow the purchase of a new accessible minibus which was ordered this year. 

Trustees are hopeful that the Association will continue to be able to provide services to the community once this difficult time has passed.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Thirsk District Community Minibus **Association** for the year ended 31st March 2021 

## **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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

I have completed my examination and 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. 

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.
