CAMEO
CAMEO provides respite for the carers of people with dementia in the Borough of Spelthorne. It does this by providing, at its day centres, a weekly programme of activities for sufferers of dementia.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity achieved a surplus of £30,946 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in total net assets of £224,821. The trustees maintain a reserves policy to ensure sufficient funds to remain solvent for 12 months plus a 15% contingency. While inflation and cost increases are noted as material uncertainties, the trustees believe these will not cause insolvency given the current reserve levels.
