FINANCIAL REVIEW
Flnanclal poslTlon
The company has contAnu¢d to serve as the local Citizens Advice office for the people of Dunslable, Houghton Regis
and surrounding areas.
Our main funding support for general advice continues to be Central Bedfordshire Council with additional support
oming from Eloughton Regis Town Council and Charitses including Wixamtree Trust and Luton & Beds Community
Fund.
Total income in the year was lower than the previous year, mainly due to additional funding in 2024 from Central
Bedfordshir¢ Council. The Trussell Trust and National Citizens Advi￿.
Totsl inwming resources in the year were £222,548 (2024 £264,939).
Totsl r¢5our¢￿ ¢xpcnded in the year wvre £222,616 (2024 £217.252).
The company made a deficit for the year of £68 (2024 ', surplus £47,687).
Reserves pollcy
The trustees consider that financial reserves should be held in order to ensure that the charity can continue to operate and
meet the needs of clients in thc cvenl of unforeseen and potentially financially damagin8 circumstances arising.
Totsl Rcserycs were £225.517 at 31st Mar¢h 2025 (2024 £225.585). These are partly r¢quir¢d as a Sou￿¢ of
¢onlingency cover for operntional costs between the twice yearly disbursements of our primary funding grant from
Ccntral Bedfordshire Council. but also to meet the board's aim of having reserves lo ¢oveT at 1¢8st six months,
operations. In addition the reserves will cover unfore5¢en day-to-day operational costs, non-renewal of anticipated
budgeted sources of in¢ome (e.g. grants) and planned spending on projects ihal continue to make it easier for clients to
¥¢t the advlc¢ ihey seek.

Our main funding support for general advice continues to be Central Bedfordshire Council with additional support
oming from Eloughton Regis Town Council and Charitses including Wixamtree Trust and Luton & Beds Community
Fund.
Total income in the year was lower than the previous year, mainly due to additional funding in 2024 from Central
Bedfordshir¢ Council. The Trussell Trust and National Citizens Advi￿.
Totsl inwming resources in the year were £222,548 (2024 £264,939).
Totsl r¢5our¢￿ ¢xpcnded in the year wvre £222,616 (2024 £217.252).
The company made a deficit for the year of £68 (2024 ', surplus £47,687).
Reserves pollcy
The trustees consider that financial reserves should be held in order to ensure that the charity can continue to operate and
meet the needs of clients in thc cvenl of unforeseen and potentially financially damagin8 circumstances arising.
Totsl Rcserycs were £225.517 at 31st Mar¢h 2025 (2024 £225.585). These are partly r¢quir¢d as a Sou￿¢ of
