The accounts state that unrestricted reserves decreased from £70,085 to £64,813, resulting in a net expenditure of £5,272 for the year. The charity reports that its bank balance remained consistent and it is dependent on voluntary donations, though it notes a guaranteed monthly income from its property portfolio covers overheads.
What the accounts disclose
“The Trustees have reported to the Charity Commission that we do not hold a reserve account since we can never comprehend how busy we are going to be with cases coming through daily however the Charity Commission have accepted this as we have a monthly guaranteed income from The Talbot Mews. We hope to be able to build up a reserve collection in our next financial year. The aim is to maintain reserves at a level to ensure that there should not be a reduction in income.” — page 7
