Financial review
In 202212023, we were unable to generate the funding that underpins our charitable objectives.
However, as a key player in the w8￿haM Forest marketplace, and with our reputation for
delivering successful outcomes we continued to receive client referrals that contributed to
income streams. We will continue the strategy of seeking new income SoUr￿S especially from
grant makers and trusts. Total income for 202212023 was £76,90212022.' £125,507). Total
resources expended amounted to £87,504 (2022.. £99,912), generating a deficit of1£10,602)
(2022'.surplus of £25,595). Haven maintains sufficient reserves to support expected fluctuating
income pattems.
Reserves policy
The Executive Committee is committed to building towards a diverse and sustainable mix of
income streams., until that posttion is reached, they believe that general reserves should be
be￿een six and 12 months, recurrent expenditure inGluding anticipated cost increases and should
be sufficient to cover staff redundancy payments and operational obligations. At current levels of
expenditure. reseNes need to be maintained at between £65,000 and £150.000. In view of
expected increased operating costs and continuing funding uncertainty, reserve levels will
continue to be monitored by trustees to ensure that they remain at an appropriate level to
safeguard our commitment to survivors and will be maintained in order to meet future
developmental needs.
