THE BOOTH CENTRE
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £425,521 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total unrestricted reserves from £685,914 to £288,018. The trustees note that less than 10% of income is confirmed at the start of the financial year, describing the funding as being at significant risk. Despite this, the trustees consider the current unrestricted funds adequate to meet their policy of maintaining sufficient reserves to arrange an orderly run-down of services if the charity were to close.
What the accounts disclose
“The policy of the Trustees is that sufficient of the charity's reserves shall be retained so that, in the event of a decision to close the Centre, funds are available to meet redundancy costs and to arrange an orderly run down of the service over a period of twelve months.”
