FY2024

Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity closed the 2024 financial year with a surplus of £21,637, driven by increased membership subscriptions and conference income. However, the trustees report that the 2025 outlook is more challenging, with projections suggesting a modest deficit due to lower-than-expected conference attendance. The Chair notes that while financial stability has improved, the charity's long-term stability remains vulnerable to sudden shocks due to its small reserves and limited resources.

Automated summary of the FY2024 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Largest income source: Membership subscription income
“Membership subscription income increased by 9% compared to the previous year. A three-day in-person conference was delivered, generating a strong surplus and attracting more delegates than in 2023.” — page 24
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Reserves policy: £10,000
“The reserves policy was £10,000, which was considered to be enough to mitigate against financial risks. There is a need to adjust the reserves policy. Operating costs has increased, brining to the board we need to have a reserves policy that covers a years’ worth of running costs, towards £20,000 - £25,000.” — page 3
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“Financial stability of TCTC is much improved – see Fitsum’s report – though our financial reserves remain small. While our strategy of having additional training events and conferences across the year, extending our work on consultation, and developing our profile publicly and professionally in order to drive up membership has been effective, the long-term stability of the Charity remains vulnerable to sudden shocks.” — page 8
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
