CHIINESE HEALTH INFORMATION CENTRE Financial Review The attached financial statements show the current state of the charity's finances, which the Trustees consider to be satisfactory given the challenging funding environment. Total income for the year was £71,599 (2024: £178.251), with total expenditure of £108,634 (2024.. £177:961), resulting in a deficit of £37,035 (2024: .surplus of £290). The main source.s of incoine were small grants, income from healih interpreting services, and the annual fundraising event. To sustain services, the Management Committee made a strategic decision to utilise a portion of the charity's reserves during the year. Investment Powers and Policy The Trustees, having regard to the charity's liquidity requirements, have retained available funds in an interest-bearing deposit account. Reserves Policy and Concerns At 31 March 2025, unrestricted reserves stood at £381.722, of which £226,974 were free reserves after allowing for funds tied up in taiigible fixed assets. The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves equivalent to approximately 18 months of running costs (currently £162,950), in line with CHIC'S financial strategy. This level of reserves provides sufficient flexibility to respond to funding opportunities while ensuring governance and support costs are met. Having reviewed reserves, the financial strategy plan, and the annual budget, the Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern. Any reliance on grant funding is managed through a flexible approach to staffing and service delivery. Risk Management The Trustees have reviewed the major risks facing the charity and have established appropriate systems and controls to mitigate these risks. Plans for Future Periods The CHIC Management Committee has agreed a Financial Strategy Plan for the coming years, which includes.. Setting aside £80,000 as an emergency reserve Minimising costs and reducing running expenses Increasing income from interpreting services Training and recruiting community health interpreters to meet rising demand, including needs linked to new Hong Kong funding Continuing annual fundraising activities Using Chinese festivals and community events as fundraising opportunities Seeking continued support through the SLA with Your Housing Group (YHG)
