What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: funds raised should be expended as soon as possible on the objects of SHARE... any monies we have in reserve are to support the Bianca Project (reserves figure: £94k)

“The Charity’s policy on reserves: Our expectation is that funds raised should be expended as soon as possible on the objects of SHARE. To support the care of the young people in Jim’s House, to support other charities such as Love Light Romania and Copii Europei. However, any monies we have in reserve are to support the Bianca Project when we send volunteers to help in Speranta.”

Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“We continue to have concerns about funding for the 3 young people living in Jim’s House and were it not for several generous benefactors we would be in a much worse position financially. We continue to raise the profile on the website and on Facebook, but our monthly donations fall way below the £2700 we need to raise every month to fund their care.” — page 3
