Through Btythswood Care we were able to buy animals (sheep, goats, pys, chthensl for 13 alumni children so they could start farming Three of the sheep had babies ty the end of the yearl 21. A modest monetsry gift was sent to all Kenyan Pamoja staff for Christmas. The prtce of goods went up in Kenya over the year of 2022 so this gift was lo enable everyone lo enjoy Chrisknas a bit more! Financial Review Funds Over the years lunds have téen set up for projects where donors expressed spe¢ffi¢ uses for their gifts. As this became more complicated il was agreed lo curtail these and ask donors lo give to general fvnds so that funding for the projects. together with emerging needs. could be mel. In 2022 the restncted Specified gifts weie used up and closed. Future projects will be funded from the general fijnds with daughter fvnds- designated by the trustees- lo be used to help monrtor spending. le a non-binding preferènce is expressed by a donor, other than the areas covered by the deSnated funds.. these are monrtored as part of the unreslr¢ted fvnds. Income Overall Income was £175.422 whith was £28,325 less than the prevKJus year. The 2022 income is more typical of the chanty's usual arbnual Income, whereas the 2021 income was Inflated due to a generou$ response of £23,848 to an appeal for our faithful Kware Care centre staff member who needed canr treatment Expenditure Overall expenditure was £182,756, a decrease of £14,393 on 2021. This expenditure sts'll reflects a higher expenditufe than pre-covid spending, due to the greater need for relief funding. The total UK spend on support costs of £1,716 was S than 1% of totsl expenditure. Balance The funds of the chanty sland at £1 C6,689 on the 31st t)e¢ember 2022, a 6.5% decrease on the pViouS year This is due to the opportunty lo spend the funds I1Ved during covid that could not be used in Kenya dunng the epidemic Much of this was spent on relieving the poverty brought about by the lack of rain and the covid srtuatson. Reserves Policy The Trustees have detemiined that the charrty shall relain a SerVe of at least £10.000 unrestricted funds lo allow for variation in cash flow and unexpected events. and to cover redundancy pay for wort(ers in Kenya shoukl the chanty dose. In line wrth Charity Commission guidance il was also agreed that, if possible, to keep a balance equal lo half the yeady support needed for the Pamoja projects $0 that. Shou we have lo close. the projects will have funding enough to wind down carefully. For 2022 thls is around £50,000. There are no plans or extatIOn that the chanty will close.
