What the accounts disclose
“In summary a total of £80,411 (2024: £35,662) was raised from fundraising activities during the year. Expenses incurred in running these activities, net of sponsorship, were £7,796 (2024: £15,191)” — page 6
“The Club has therefore mandated a minimum Unrestricted Reserve amount of £15,000.”
“The Club’s aim is to make donations in line with funds received during the year. The Club does not incur any capital expenditure or have costs of a recurring nature. Its main fundraising event is the annual Horse Ride, and if this event were to be cancelled it could severely limit the Club’s ability to offer support over the following year.” — page 5
