Financial Review
## **Accounts Year End 31st March 2024**

SCCYC’s income for the year was £260k revenue which allowed us to continue our vital services. This is up on prior year (£197k), mainly due to the release of grants deferred from prior year. The key driver for greater expenditure is the staff costs as to deliver our services.
We are grateful for the financial support provided by the following who enable us to continue to benefit the community (West Northants Council £59,277; National Lottery Cost of Living Fund £30,820; NBCT Support Northants £5,000; Northamptonshire Community Foundation/West Northamptonshire Council £11,473; National Lottery Reaching Communities £100,102; Faraway Children’s Charity £1,000) as well as our partners, donors, staff and dedicated volunteer base.
Our vital service for this year continues to be the Food Aid service which remains pivotal to the work we do, providing disadvantaged members of the Northampton community with dry, fresh, hot food and resources on a regular basis as well as welfare services.
Our main programme of services for the next year (National Lottery Fund) will continue the Covid-19 critical Response services which include Poverty and Welfare support; Recovery activities which include health, wellbeing, and social activities; Resilience development activities which include volunteering, training and employment skills to transition the disadvantaged into further education, earning and independent living.
2025 will be a year of change, we are planning ahead for the closure of our 3-year National Lottery Fund in 2024, putting into practise our 3-year organisational sustainability plan 2024-2027. Plans include: Investing in our staff and trustees, providing coaching workshops to enable them to manage the forthcoming change. Increasing income through diversification of income streams, including expanding and setting up new social ventures, holding fundraising events, encouraging donations, applying for smaller projects bids and making cutbacks on all expenditure
