The Boaz Trust Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 31 March 2025 

## **Financial Review** 

This year, The Boaz Trust has achieved significant progress in strengthening its financial position, ensuring the continued delivery and expansion of vital services for people made destitute due to their immigration status. While the previous year presented financial challenges, careful management of staffing levels and available bed spaces has enabled us to stabilise and significantly increase the charity’s activities throughout 2024-25. 

We were able to secure new funding and, together with the generous and sacrificial giving of our supporters, sustain and expand our services. Despite a volatile funding environment, we have made substantial progress toward our goal of maintaining balanced budgets. 

## **Income and Expenditure** 

Total income for the year was £933,704, representing an increase of £248,809 (36%) compared with the previous year. This is in part due to focussed fundraising relating to essential housing repairs / upgrades towards the end of the financial year and the development of our outreach-based work. Donations from individuals increased by 33%. Grants received increased by 23%. 

Expenditure amounted to £885,484, an increase of £115,508 (15%) from 2023-24, reflecting expanded services and the costs associated with supporting more people than ever before. 

The resulting surplus of £48,220 represents a favourable movement of £133,301 compared with the prior year, providing a solid foundation for continued service delivery. 

## **Funds and Reserves** 

Restricted Funds decreased by £11,153, leaving a balance of £73,688 at year-end. Unrestricted Funds stood at £448,709, of which £316,209 was designated, including £198,000 held as a Risk Contingency Fund. At the end of March 2025, the General Reserves (Unrestricted Funds less Designated Funds) amounted to £132,500. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees recognise their legal duty to manage the resources of The Boaz Trust responsibly. The charity maintains a reserves policy (see page 55) to ensure sufficient unrestricted funds are available to continue operations and meet financial commitments in the event of income fluctuations or unexpected costs. For 2024–25, the General Reserves Target was set as the higher of the Risk Contingency amount _or_ three months’ running costs. The level of reserves was monitored regularly through our financial reporting mechanisms. A full review of the reserves policy is planned for 2025–26.
