What the accounts disclose
“We aim to hold reserves in the range of £26,500 and £51,500.” — page 34
“At the same time, the growing focus on local giving – while a positive trend for our UK work – has made it more difficult for our overseas projects to attract support. We’re also feeling the impact of high inflation in both Bangladesh and the UK, which continues to drive up costs and reduce the real value of income.”
