SOLACE COMMUNITY
We set up and assist small prayer groups for mutual support, prayer and fellowship of mothers and children.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £27,581, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £894,290 to £866,709. The trustees note that expenditure was materially in excess of income, primarily due to repair works on Star House, but remain confident in the charity's ability to continue operating. Free reserves were reported at £9,829, which is below the stated policy target of £10,000.
What the accounts disclose
“Donations and gifts 19,746”
“The Charity's reserves policy is to keep £10,000 of free reserves available at any time.” — page 6
“The Trustees are confident, based on the expected lower level of expenditure, the continued willingness of donors to help in meeting exceptional expenditure and the possibility, if needs be, of raising money by selling land or borrowing money secured on it, that the charity has sufficient funds and resources to enable it to meet its objects and financial requirements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.” — page 6
