MY WISH CHARITY
The Trustee's aim is that through fundraising activities, events and appeals we will further improve the provision of high quality patient care throughout the Trust, focusing on the use of modern technology in areas not covered or fully supported by central NHS funds.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the year with unrestricted reserves of £1,620,000, which the trustees consider sufficient given their policy to hold reserves approximately equal to average annual unrestricted income. The charity reported a net surplus of £68,000 after investment losses, supported by total income of £659,000 and total expenditure of £567,000. The auditor confirmed that the charity is a going concern with no material uncertainties identified.
What the accounts disclose
“Legacies £358k – a gift in a will really is an investment in the future, and we are fortunate to be remembered by people each year.”
“The Trustee’s reserves policy is to expend unrestricted income within a reasonable period of time in furtherance of the charitable objects. Under normal circumstances, a period of one year is considered to be reasonable; therefore, the Charity would be expected to hold reserves approximately equal to average annual unrestricted income. The average is determined over a three-year reference period.” — page 20
