What the accounts disclose
“The income of the charity fell by £22,772 to £94,590 for the year to 31st March 2025 , compared to year ended 31st March 2024, owing mainly to a failure to secure any significant grants.” — page 8
“The Trustees have reviewed the charity’s need for reserves in line with the guidance of the Charity Commission and have set a policy that reserves should not fall below £70,000, to safeguard the commitment to provision of services to beneficiaries for at least a six-month period.” — page 8
“This annual report was kindly produced free of charge by Click 71, a company owned and managed by one of our trustees.” — page 10
“These changes to the board of trustees highlighted a specific issue with our governance, which in turn hampered a grant opportunity. This was rectified at an EGM during the year to change our articles to establish a minimum of three trustees instead of five” — page 3
