## **Summary of Financial Position and Reserve Statement**
Compared to 2018/19, income increased by just under 11% whilst expenditure decreased by 14.5%. Sufficient funds remain to cover salaries for Abigail Health Care Centre staff during time awaiting National Health Insurance Registration (NHIF) in Kenya.
Grants to beneficiaries and general expenses that amounted to £2,209 were paid via Trustee’s account. Foreign currency amounted to the equivalent of £1653 was held at year end pending future expected visits which in the event of Covid and other health problems were not possible. Funds carried forward to 2020/21.
With no UK payroll, utility bills or ongoing overheads, cash reserves of £22,628 was viewed as more than adequate at any one time to cover on-going sponsorship and third year salaries of AHCC staff.
