ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024
Financial Review
The total income raised during the year was £193,310 (2023.. £143,253), expenditure was £164,477
(2023.. 152,496) and investment losses were £3,868 (2023 loss.. £17,874), giving a net surplus for the
year of £24,965 (2023.. deficit for the year of £27,117) This has increased the reserves of the Charity to
£463,175 at 31 st October 2024.
Reserves policy
The Board of Trustees reviews annually the amount of free reserves held by the Charity. These should
be adequate to cover working capital and a Contingency for unforeseen costs.
Proceeds from the sale of the property have been designated as a special reserve to generate income to
support O￿l¢e provision. The interest is currently supporting rented accommodation and the fund
retained to support future office provision wliether by way of rent or purchase.
The committee considers the Cu￿ent level of free reserves (excluding fixed assets and designated funds)
of £70.707 to be adequate but not excessive.
Investment policy
Funds are retained to generate income to support revenue expenditure. The greater percentage of
invested monies is placed with COIF and this met the Trustees, wish to avoid risk although foregoing
possible capital appreciation. This policy is however being reviewed.
The charity has £162,849 invested in the COIF property fund.
