What the accounts disclose
“Of total income, donations, gifts, grants and fundraising represent 22% (2024: 28%), and housing support and resident income 77% (2024: 72%).”
“Our reserves policy has remained at £42,000 of unrestricted funds at any time to cover potential liabilities. This figure represents approximately 3 months of forecast operational costs.” — page 5
“The land which is leased to the charity on which the charity is run is jointly owned by Y Cross, a trustee of the charity. The lease terms limit the rental figure to a maximum of the current rental figure or the open market rental of the land for agricultural purposes only and therefore there are no beneficial terms resulting from Y Cross's position as a trustee.” — page 18
