PAMOJA
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that total income was £169,689 and total expenditure was £181,214, resulting in a net outgoing of £11,525 for the year. Free/unrestricted reserves stood at £95,344 at the end of the period, which the trustees note is still higher than the pre-pandemic balance. The charity's reserves policy requires retaining at least £10,000 in unrestricted funds, a threshold that is comfortably exceeded.
What the accounts disclose
“The Trustees have determined that the charity shall retain a reserve of at least f10,000 unrestricted funds to allow for variation in cash flow and unexpected events, and to cover redundancy pay for workers in Kenya should the charity close. In line with Charity Commission guidance it was also agreed that, if possible, to keep a balance equal to half the yearly support needed for the Pamoja projects so that, should we have to close, the ongoing projects will have funding enough to wind down carefully. For 2023 this is around 250, 000.” — page 6
“Pamoja works in partnership with Blythswood Care based in Scotland (Scottish Charity Register SC021848). Blythswood Care contributions to Pamoja primarily support education and projects located at Magina.”
