Our Ablllty to Provide Publ1¢ B•n•fft
The Truslee-Directors and staff ackntr*l* the inportance of*YJrking for the publ¢ benefit and
achieve this in a number of ways. Our core acts.v￿es focus on and are undertaken in the
fvrtherance of our charitable purposes and for the wblic be￿fft.
In detem7ining the charitalje obJectNes and planning the actmbes as set out in this report the
Board has fulty Considered the Charty commissi￿.$ gu￿anCe on public benefit. The Charity relies
on a mulure of local government fvnding, grants and donations and, to a lesser extent, on fees and
charges to cover ils operab.ng costs. In setting the levd o." any fees and charges the Board gNe$
careful ¢onsKleratsM to the accessibility of the Charivs Sery￿eS.
Statutory fvndirw from Government aulhoriiiesover the year Frtwsed marginalty by £4,909 from
£354,022 to £358,931 over the year.
Despite Continuing Sustai￿ applKationg issuéd by our dethcated staff. this year grants income
ueed by £19,276 Clynpared wth 2022 trom £175,767 10 £156.491. Post COVKI. nomal

plus sundry fees I subscription from ￿ents and oihers rose by £39.857 from £82.288 tt> £122,145.
Finally. ev8nts and acts"viti8S tncome was up by £16.749 from £11.004 10 £27,753.
Springboard could not conb.nue to provide the hwdh ￿Ve1 of services it does ￿thout generous

ger*r31￿ lo fund our increasitvj expenses and overheads. Largety pursuant to a 9.7%12022 6.6%)
living wage increase, stsff costs grew by £69.397112.WAI from £539,127 to £608.524. Fuelled by
severe inllalionary pressures. other expenditures. excluding property dep￿￿tion of £20,488,
increased by £24.492131.6%1 from £77.395 to £101.887. Tola expenditure including deprecialion
grew by £109,255117.6%1 from £621.644 to £730,899.
Overall. hjnders and stsff achEved an oper*"ng surplus of £51.769. After deducting non<ash
a$$el-depre¢ots"on of £20,488, this year we tumed in an overall surplus of £31,281 1£49.454 in
2022 after adijing a gain of £5.259 on revaluation of fixed assets). Our current assets have
increased from £329.909 10 £445.090, whtch very signrfici.nlty excAeds current Ik4bilths of onty
£48,801 Ihaving deducted deferred income forymrd of £120.1571. Over the year a large inciease in
the living wage, and high inflatron, increased ¢osls. Anbcipaied reducl]"ons in suppm ftom lttal
goveinment, continuing InflatKJnary pressures. global uneertainty, scarcities caused by the wars in
Ukraine and Gaza, and possibly other factors. may continue to make goc*a margins difficult lo
a¢hieve over the year lo 31 Augu512024 and beyond. However. provK1ed generous support from
our existing bAckers continues. and new fijnders come on board, in the opinion of our T￿aSurer
is likety that Springboard can for the foreseeable fvture conb.nue to delNer the exceNenl serV￿eS for
whKh it is renowned, and pethaps in due course lurther increase its 5eryiGe provision scope.
