FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Financial Statements are prepared annually by the Treasurer and the 2025 reports have been independently examined by Cottons Accountants LLP.
The 2025 report shows total income of £39,890 and total expenditure of £71,900: thus providing a yearly deficit of £32,010.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Because of the prudent approach of the Trustees to finances in previous years and the surplus in the previous four years the charity remains well placed to respond to requests for funding further equipment and staff training as they arise during the year.
It remains the Trustees objective to try to expand the number of hospital department's that the Charity supports during the financial year 2025/2026.
