NEW FUTURES PROJECT
From our base in Leicester we operate a drop in facility for people exploited by or at risk of sexual exploitation. We carry out two out reach sessions in the City two nights a week and bi weekly out reach sessions during the day to the county. We provide access to City Council housing services, Drug and Alcohol workers, GUM and GP services.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure deficit of £2,702 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves of £2,991. The trustees acknowledge that the charity is not in a position of comfort to deal with short-term financing problems due to these low reserves, which are significantly below their policy target of approximately £75,000. Despite the deficit, the trustees maintain that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
What the accounts disclose
“The trustees estimate that reserves at a level of approximately £75,000 would ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, the charity would be able to continue the current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.”
