What the accounts disclose
“We are fortunate to have several individuals that maintain regular donations.”
“The Reserves policy requires a reserve of unrestricted funds, sufficient to enable the Charity to meet its administration costs: these are bank charges and website maintenance only. Following examination of the last ten years’ accounts, a reserve sum of £400 was considered appropriate.”
“The trustees manage the Charity, but its work is entirely dependent on its longstanding partnerships with local, trusted, dedicated Ghanaian NGOs. Uncertainties are minimized by regularly reviewing their operations capabilities; support is offered if needed and appropriate.”
