We raise funds throughout the year, and make grants and hold events for charities and community organisations to fulfil our charitable objectives and help the most disadvantaged people in our community.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £12,865 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total unrestricted funds from £87,010 to £74,145. The trustees consider the overall financial position to be satisfactory and note that the charity maintained reserves in excess of its stated policy target of £35,000. However, the going concern basis is explicitly dependent on the future flow of uncertain funding streams from donations and trading revenues.
