In addition to book sales in the UK and US. there was an encouraging level of activity in the translation
market. There were significant overseas royalty payments. reflecting high levels of book sales in languages
such as Chinese, French, German, Italian and Turkish. There was a slight decline in theatre income, due to a
smaller number of stage productions in 2024.
For 2024 total expenditure was £350,889 (2023: £350,022). Despite rising costs for items such as electricity
and insurance, there was a reduction in staff costs and agents commission due to the reduction in royalty
income.
At the end of the reporting period. the Foundation was in a stable financial position, with sufficient cash
reserves to undertake all planned activities for the following year.
The total funds of the Foundation at the end of the period were £178,102 (2023- £179,669). Of which there
were free reserves of £170,161 which is the unrestricted reserves of the charity less its fixed assets.
Reserves policy
In her will, the late Liana Burgess made provision for ongoing support of the charity. On that basis, the
charity has no actual reserves policy as such, as the trustees consider that the legacy received will
support their current plans.
