ACTION AROUND BETHLEHEM CHILDREN WITH DISABILITY
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves of £249,000 remain above the charity's policy target of 8-10 months' expenditure, despite a significant increase in charitable spending. However, the trustees highlight an existential threat to partner centres due to the ongoing conflict and the potential cessation of UNRWA cooperation, which poses a risk to future service delivery.
