As an organisation. the charily acknowled8es th¢ impa¢1 of ils work may be limited &n directly transforniing the lives of those that flnd themselves homeless. However, we support other organizations who provide direct benefit lo those who are in danger or are in danger of becoming homele5S. The charity recognises a year on year in￿¢ in hOMele￿nesS and is aiming to extmnd its support to organisalions striving ID address homelessness. The charity is also aware that as it is not a Tegistered provider. it catUKJt get direct access to government funding Any N)teDtial activities requiring such funding wouldtherefore need to be undertaken in conjunction with a parlner charity who 15 a registered provider. 0￿ECTIVEs AND ACTIVITIES The charities activities are cenlered in three main ar￿.

Funitraising enables us to give grants io partner charities who share our focus on homelcssne5s and the prevention of homelessness. It h&q also given significant financial Strength and reserv¢s against possible expenditure on the property. Events included the annual qui4 carol singing outside a supern)arkeL a Coron&ion raffle 8nd a ¢oncert in a local church. FINANCIAL REVIEW & PROPERTY REPORT The period under review h&4 pfimluced a Strong fjnancial perfonnance. Annual income In)prov￿ considerably while CO￿espOnding expenditute was slighily higher. The tr￿sle¢s. attenlion on 23124 h&q Concentr￿ed on a pr(wed redevelopment site of the North Herts Sanctuary.

Nevertheless the board h&$ worked conscientiously. and matw to f￿rA[ its main mission obj¢¢tives. Gen¢ral support from our locat Gommunily has reTttaill¢d strong.

Overall, we have still produced a useabl¢ 5urplu5 for the year. allowing u5 10 fund m￿¢ opportunitie5 to help th¢ local homeless in the immediate future. Together with the generolls support from the local community, we have the fuwicial flexibility to siistain our work. RESERVES POLICY Unrestricted funds amount to £595,230.

However, in August 24 Homes England changed the timescales for comm¢ncement and completion of the dcvcjopme￿ to periods that Onc YMCA cou]d nol meet. One YMCA wuld not commit lo the development without this funding so we wer¢ infornied the scheme would not start as planned. One YMCA remains committed io the development and has said ihey will apply for funding from fuiure rounds of government funding. In the inierim One YMCA will continue as our lenants to use ￿ building for accommodation and services. They also want to continue with inientions to conelude a long-terni le￿e f(x the site. We will ttvitw this as things develop whilst taking ifflo considerdtion the best interests of the charity. In addition.
