Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased from £2,952 in 2024 to £12,109 in 2025, following a net income of £9,157. The trustees maintain a reserves policy target of £5,000, which is currently exceeded by the actual unrestricted reserves. The independent examiner noted significant internal control failures regarding documentation, fund restrictions, and asset registers.
What the accounts disclose
“we aim to maintain reserve of £5,000 as part of our income to meet any unforeseen circumstances” — page 6
“From the work undertaken, it was noted that the following did not have sufficient documentation to support the balances per the financial statements. 1. The charity's accounting system does not account for funds and potential restrictions on use of funds. 2. The charity is closely linked with Umoya Trust Zambia, a foreign charity, which Umoya Trust UK supports. Controls have not been put in place to adequately separate the resources, assets and expenditure of the two entities clearly. 3. The charity has not maintained a fixed asset register.” — page 8
