Over the last year Safe and Sound hove continued to support young people and their families. This hos been achieved despite financial headwinds providing a challenging environment for many organisotions. particularly those in the charity sector. The latest set of financial statements continues to reflect a strong financial position for Sofe ond Sound despite these challenges. Moreover, the previous year hos been one of profound chonge. with the chority fulfilling a long-term objective of purchasing their own occessible premises within ihe city centre. The costs of buying ond modernising Melbourne House on Bold Lane in Derby City Centre ore consideroble. However, with a mix of grant funding. significant pro-bono professionol work ond 'ot-cost' contributions from contractors. this is on track and the oddition of Melbourne House is on asset for the charity. Our detailed reserves include funds designated to complete the renovotions. It should be noted that this set of financial stotements has been independently audited. This is good practice to ensure both accuracy and transparency and is a policy we aim to continue with. regardless of size. The opening of Melbourne House in June 2025 as both a new home for our teom ond os o sofe ploce to help young people and their families is o significont milestone. Along with our Cotton Lone Centre. Sofe ond Sound now hove focilities thot will ollow us to deliver essenliol support for generotions to come. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thonk the entire Sofe ond Sound team ond everyone who has supported us in the work undertaken this year ot Bold Lone ond Cotton Lane.
