Like many other charities and organisations we were operdting this year with the ongoing challenge of the Cost of Living crisis we have been fortunate to secure some specific funds for this purpose from various sources to support both the organisation with rising costs but also the service llSe￿ who had been impacted massively by the increase in living costs.

Bexley Women's Aid Trustees, Report Policy on resenys The charity is aNvare of the need to ensure that our reserves are sufficient to cover our costs and the reduction in our funding for 2024125. The Trustees have set aside £90,000 contingency fund as a designated reserve to cover approximately six months running costs of the charity. This is to ensure that sutyicient money is held for redundancies and the wind up of the charity should fundino streams cease. Whilst the Trustees would like to increase this amount further it is not considered appropriate in the current economic climate. A further £5,000 of reserves has been designaied to specific projecls. We have £122,024 of general reserves which are available to absorb any future overspends over the next few years.

The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
