The reserve at the end of the year in the UK was £185,063.99 which was equivalent to approximately 22 months’ reserves.

information, where relevant about:
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) how expenditure has supported key objectives of the charity investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
The principal source of funds is gifts from individuals and churches. Funds are also provided from occasional legacies which provide welcome amounts of extra income. 97% of expenditure was spent on the direct support of the Children’s Homes in the Philippines.
Reserves are held in current and deposit and interest-bearing accounts in UK banks and building societies that are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). No one account exceeds that covered by the FSCS. Sufficient funds are kept in readily accessible accounts to cover the reserves policy.
The end of year 2024 finances include no gift aid reclaim. 2025 accounts will show two years of gift aid reclaim as the claim wasn’t made in time in 2024.
