REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024


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 December 2024. 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).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Body
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The Directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the company's Articles of Association are members of the Executive Committee. Each Trustee retires annually and all are eligible for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting.

The Memorandum and Articles of Association states that The Executive Committee shall consist of not less than 5 members nor more than 12. The majority of members of the Executive Committee shall consist of people having a disability.

Organisational structure
The Executive Committee is required to hold four ordinary meetings per year. Special meetings may be called at any time by the Chair or by any two members of the Executive Committee, upon not less than 4 days' notice being given to other members of the Executive Committee. Last year the group met on eight occasions.

The Sub-committee. A sub-committee comprising three or more members can be appointed by the Executive Committee for the purpose of making any inquiry or supervising or performing any function or duty which in the opinion of the other committee members would be more conveniently undertaken or carried out by a sub-committee.

Last year three such meetings were help regarding staff appraisal, staff appointments and to consider the long-term sick leave of the manager who was terminally ill and the implications of this and how best to manage this situation.

Staffing: Shopmobility currently have two staff, The Manager who is responsible for the day to day management of the organisation and a driver who is responsible for the bus and the excursions.

Executive Committee; The Executive Committee is required to meet not less than four times per year. In the last Financial year the Executive Committee held six meetings.

Induction and training of new trustees
As members of the organisation Trustees are familiar with the practical work within the charity. All new trustees receive an induction pack outlining:
- The roles and responsibilities of the Executive Committee.
- The main documents relating to the organisation.
- Budgets and current financial position.
- Future plans.

Premises
Durham City Shopmobility was incorporated within the development of the Prince Bishops Shopping Centre, therefore was fully designed to be totally accessible. Since the project was established, the organisation has continued to pay peppercorn rent. In 2011 the organisation was relocated to a new purpose built building which is more visible and accessible to service users. Under the tenants agreement, all issues relating to the unit are the responsibility of Durham City Shopmobility.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
DURHAM CITY SHOPMOBILITY LTD

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Durham City Shopmobility Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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
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
3. 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
4. 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.
