CHALLENGES

of Ilvlng at an all-time hlgh, recruiting staff into tho induslry has been a challenge. Whilst Springboard values its qualili8d
Staff and offers higher pay than many malnstream settSngs, there are challenge¥ from other ¥eotors are offering

The increase to the National Minimum Wage has begn a challang8 financially, 8specially
as this is the second con8eculiv8 year th an increase of 9.7.10 follow8d by 9.8°h.
These increases are not aligned with th8 income r8ceived from eith8r the s8￿Ce L8val Agraemènt with Wilt8hira
Council or the Early Years Funding.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves and financial control
Considering the statutory funding shortfall from pr8viDUS years and based on th8 curr&nl economic climat8. th8 trustèes
decided to set aside sufficient funds to cover up to stx months operating C08ts (a8 r8commended by th8 Charily
Commission). This reserve would be used lo supplement monthly cash flow shortag88. It is th8 trusteg's intention to
keep the operatlng reserve at approximately this level to protect the charity from changes in core GO81 funding and lo
cover any potential obligations. This reserve WOU￿ be used to mlnlmise the impacl upon Ihe children during any
ch8ng8s to $8Thdc6 dellvèry.
Th8 res8rve8 ar8 curr8ntty £125,000, which is equivalent to approximat8ly 4 months oparnting costs.
A rolling three-year plan and annual budget are produced for each financial year. against which actual performan￿ 18
contlnually monitored.
At thè regular meetings of the management Committee the performance agalnst budget 15 dlscussed, alongslde cosh
flow.
Sufficient controls and systgms are in plac8 to 8n8ure the secuiity and efficient U88 of th8 charity's assots. Th8 r&s8Jves
will be kept acro88 several Savings accounts to keep below thg threshold of £85,000 and therefor8 try lo minimi8e any
risk of futurè losses if the bank collapses.
All trustees give up their time freely and no remuneratlon was paid in the year. No trustee received any benefit. Trustees
can claim out of pocket @xpens@s to be r8lmbursèd at cost price, or alternatively the trustee can choose to donate the
C08t of th8 expense to our charity. Expens88 are r&imbursèd as pèr the pollcy and guldelines, with a view to accessing
voluntQgr8 from 811 backgrounds.
As an employer, the charity pays tax through the national Insuran￿ contributions we make.
