Objectives and Aims

activities the Cha rity should undertake in order to further the charitable purposes for the public benefit.
These activities are summarised below.
To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of sight impaired and severely sight impaired people
living in Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding area,. This is achieved by the provision of support
calculated to meet their needs - provided that such support will be given in a way which increases and
respects their independence, choice, privacy and dignity. These aims and objectives are realised through

Achievements and performance
Philippa Taylor
Philippa is responsible for the day-to-day running of the NVS office as well as having responsibility for
funding applications and ensuring that core costs and salaries are covered.
2023 was a difficult year with the news that the NVS office space within MEA House was being sold to
Northumbria University, leaving Philippa as the lead in the quest to find a new home. Due to the nature
of the business and its requirement for a central location, good accessibil ity and com pliance with health
and safety legislation, finding a suitable location was not without difficulties. After months of searching
and viewing properties, Hadrian House satisfied the requirements and NVS moved premises in January
2025.
Fundraising was slow at the beginning of 2024, but NVS were succe55ful with applications in the
subsequent months, being awarded several grants which ensured the charity is fully funded until the
start of the next tax year.
Philippa believes that the strength and success of NVS is very much a team effort and extends her thanks
for the sUPPOrt she receives from staff and trustees.

Trustees, Report (Incorporating the Directors Report) (continued)
Period ended 31 March 2024
The Trustees have therefore resolved that, so far as possible, unrestricted reserves should be held to
enable services to be sustained for a period of six month5 in the event of a marked downturn in income.
Such reserves would also be required to cover the financial obligations of the charity in the event of
dissolution. After consideration the trustees consider the appropriate level of unrestricted reserves to be
£IOO,000. The Trustees are carefully monitoring the reserves position on a regular basis to ensure
current services can be maintained.
The unrestricted reserves not invested in fixed assets at 31 March 2024 were £52,32312022: £100,443
and excludes designated funds of £nil12022.. £40,493).

The principal risk to the charity is short-term grant funding and restricted i ncome sources. The change in
funding priorities may impact the charities abil ity to meet a growing demand for services into the future.
Whilst there are more opportunities for core funding these are limited 35 3 result of the competitive
nature of these funding posts due to cost-of-living pressures.
