What the accounts disclose
“Our approach is to keep sufficient funds to retain core minimum operational expenses for the next 6 months at a “keep the lights on” level”
“In line with our financial policies, our operating horizon is 6 months. If any of the programmes lose funding then, if that funding cannot be replaced, the programme would be closed down.”
“The charity works closely St Oswald’s and St Chad’s Church, Middlesbrough, principally using church facilities and ministering to the community. There are ongoing discussions between TGPM and the Church about upgrading the facilities used by the Charity. This is an exciting project with great potential, however the Trustees are mindful of the need to protect the existing activities of TPM and its financial stability.”
