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 2019. 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 |

|
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in the Wellingborough area, and in particular the |
advancement of eduction, the furtherance of health and relief of poverty, distress and sickness. |
|
In furtherance of the above objects, but not further or otherwise, to use every means at its disposal to further the work of |
existing Voluntary and Statutory bodies in the community without detracting in any way from their own purpose or |
autonomy. |
|
To procure and provide information. |
|
To circulate any written material, gratuitously or otherwise, appropriate to its work. |
|
To promote, encourage or undertake experimental work. |
|
Public benefit |
The transport services provide a direct benefit to individuals within the community, enabling those who would otherwise be |
isolated and unable to access public transport to attend medical appointments and undertake social activities. |
|
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
This has been another challenging year. The demand for all our services continued to grow with memberships achieving |
record levels. Passenger numbers increased month by month for both the Wellibus and Medical Car Service making |
fulfilling the demand very difficult at times. We are proud of the fact that we have not only met the demand but also |
maintained the highest quality standards across all areas of our work, despite a reduction in our core funding. The dedication |
and commitment of our staff and volunteers has made this possible and we are grateful to each of them for their support. Our |
priority for next year must be to increase our funding. We are confident that due to the local support we have and quality of |
the services we will succeed. |

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF |
SHIRE COMMUNITY SERVICES LIMITED |
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Shire Community Services Limited ('the Company') |
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2019. |
|
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 ICAEW 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 |
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 |
