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

What the accounts disclose

Highest-paid employee band: £60,001 - £70,000 — in the top quarter for charities its size (median £60k)
“The number of employees whose employee benefits (excluding employer pension costs) exceeded £60,000 was: 2024 No. In the band £60,001 - £70,000 1” — page 22
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Employees paid over £60,000: 1
“The number of employees whose employee benefits (excluding employer pension costs) exceeded £60,000 was: 2024 No. In the band £60,001 - £70,000 1” — page 22
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £-14k; policy: up to four months of annual expenditure)
“At the end of 2024, inHive had a deficit on unrestricted funds and therefore the reserves policy was not being met at this time.” — page 9
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“For that reason we are satisfied that the charity is a going concern. However, it remains a live issue that the Mastercard Foundation is the charity’s primary funder. The unrestricted position is showing a cumulative deficit of £14,076 (so there are unrestricted net liabilities) and therefore it is a priority to build up these unrestricted reserves to align with the board’s target policy of 4 months. As a result the programme delivery fee will be transferred as actual to the reserve account in 2025 in agreement with the Mastercard Foundation. It therefore remains essential that InHive diversifies and increases its funding both restricted and unrestricted in the short-term.” — page 8
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
