There were varlous restricted funds recelvgd during the year. These funds were expended on salaries and agreed overheads. Any unspent revenue income is carried forward to next year. The total unrestricted fund8 at the end of the year represent the Charity's free reserves and amounted to £865 (2024 - £903). RESERVES POLICY The Trustees recognise thg need for reserves to ensure the principal objectives of the Charity are met. In addilion, Ir one of the main funders were to cease funding the Charity. time would be needed to find an alternative. Th8 loss of funding may result in the need lo fund statutory redundancy and other costs which would have to be funded out of accumulated reseNes. The trustees seek to achieve a target level of free reserves equal lo three months direot charitable costs. Al the balance sheet date, the target level of unreslricled funds amounted to £22,154 (2024: £26,981). POLICY OF RISK The Charity Commission has recommended that all Trustees review the risks facing their charity and formulate a policy to mitlgale those risks. The main risk Is that of loss of funding. To mitigate this, the Trustees have put in place a reserves policy. Golng concern Havlng considered budgets for the next twelve months. the Trustees are confidenl Ihat the Charity will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable futur8 and consider that there are no materlal uncertaintie8 about Your Voice Advocacy Project ability to contlnue as a going concern. It is therefore considered appropriate by the Trustees to prepare the financlal statements on a going concern basis.
