THE RELIEF OF THE SICK AND THE ELDERLY IN CHESTERFIELD AND THE SURROUNDING AREA
Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £91,192 for the year ended 31 March 2026, driven by a significant shortfall in service days compared to budget due to changes in local authority funding eligibility. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves have decreased to £104,091, and the organization faces major risks regarding client attendance numbers and affordability for self-funders.
What the accounts disclose
“Reserves are held for operational support, a general fund and amenity funds. The former two provide the Care Group with protection against the extreme challenges it has faced and continues to face albeit on a continually reducing scale. They also provide a contingency for unforeseen expenditure.” — page 7
