FINANCIAL REVIEW
We are pleased to preseni the accounts for the fman¢ial year 202Y2023.
We continue to seek diversified 8ourc¢s of funding to rcducc our r¢liance on fimding from the I(￿al authority,
however the LondoTJ Borough of Croydon remains 8 significant and crucial fimder of our work. Details of
Home-start Croydon's revenue and expenditure for the year under revlew and the previous year are shown
on pag¢ 7 of th¢ Financial Statement.
We recognise, and cannot ignore, the exlent to which our financial viability rests with our funding, which
comes without any future guarantees beyond the current financial year ending March 2024. We are actively
seeking to secure additional fimds to continue our work and will engag¢ with any n¢w ¢on]missioning ptOC&SS
in a bid to secure further fimding to meet the neeAls of Croydon families in the future. We remain quietly
confident that our past achievements will set us up well for futu￿ funding applications.
Throughout this year we have been funded by: London Borough of Croydon (Best Start). Croydon Volunlary
A¢tion. The Cosaraf Foundation, The National tA)ttery, Croydon Relief In Nee4 The Pears Foundatio￿ and
People's Health Lottery Trust. We are also grateful for the large number of one-off donations to support our
work, in particular, a large, anonymo￿$ donation via the Chariti¢g Aid Foundation. We continue to work hard
to identify a￿ltIonal opportunities to introduce new progrdmmes to allow us to support more families in the
Borough

It should be Thot¢d that the tnajority of the funds carried forward into the next financial year are allocated for

14 GOING CONCERN
The accounts of the charitable company have been pr￿ared on a Going Concern basis. which means
that the trustees are confident thai the charitable company will still be operating in twelve months
from the date of signing these accounts. As detsiled on page 4 of the Trustee Report not all fvnding
for ihc fjnancial year ended 31.3.2024 has yet been secured, as is common with many charities. The
trnstees and senior management team are taking many actions to secure filnding, however ihe
fllwicial siwation at the London Borough of Croydoo is not helpful, in this regard. The trnstees have
set aside a designaied fund of £20,￿) io meet costy if it were lo become necessary to close down
the charitable company. If the accounts were not to be prepared on a Going Concem basis, the Balance
Sheet, as at 31.3.2023 would not bc materially dIffe￿nI.
