Achievements and Performance
The company operates in and around Henley on Thames and has several activities which seek to reach out to the local community. In particular the company has sought to fulfil its charitable objectives by running a detached youth and community project. The main aims are:
-
To support children, young people and their families experiencing challenges in their lives.
-
To help in all aspects of their lives, in particular education, health, training, employment, finances, independence, and recreation.
-
To encourage people to make positive contributions to their local community.
The principal source of income for the charity is grants and donations.
During the year the above aims have been met by delivering the following services:
-
Delivering 1,355 Food Parcels (2,956 bags of food) to local individuals and families.
-
Help fund to support those impacted by COVID 19.
-
Lockdown creative challenges.
-
1 to 1 Mentoring in schools and online.

Targeted holiday activities for young people and families including paintballing, mountain biking and SUP sessions.

Food Bank and Help Fund to provide support for many experiencing financial challenges.
During lockdown Nomad remained open and whilst unable to relate to its clients on a face-to-face basis has done so online. The main activity, particularly during the first lockdown, was operation of the Foodbank.
During the year approximately £55,000 worth of donated food has been delivered in 1,355 food parcels (2,956 bags of food).
Approximately £2,000 worth of food is currently in the Foodbank.
Financial Review
The total income for the year was £267,533 and total expenditure on charitable activities amounted to £181,599. At the year end the balance on reserves was £115,412 on unrestricted reserves of which £31,524 has been invested in fixed assets leaving £83,888 free reserves and £32,494 on restricted reserves.
Reserves Policy
The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves taking account of the main risks to the organisation. At a time of rising demand for the charity’s services and uncertainty of finance the trustees have reviewed the policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets and held in reserve by the charity should be sufficient to cover 4 months salaries. This is £30,000 and is held in a separate account. The reserves are to ensure that should the charity not receive sufficient funding to continue work the staff notice period can be covered. The Trustees aim is to increase the reserves to cover 4 months expenditure by March 2022. There is a designated sum of £16,349 set aside in another account for restricted projects.

any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity;

- f) Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT

Asset Annual Category Rate Motor Vehicle 25% per annum Office equipment 33 1/3% per annum
