FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
The Board of Directors￿rustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed (the free reserves)
held by the Charity should aim to be 6 months of the resources expended in general funds. At this level the Board feel that
they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding, or 8 delay in
funding payments being received or having to wind up certain projects. It would obviously be necessary to Consider how the
funding would be replaced if activities changed.
Current Financial Position
During the year 2024- 2025 CSWC has not applied for any funding it has not needed for its mainstream activities and there
has been manageable and planned expansion in this area. During the year we have had continued funding and support from
Adult Social Care {through the consortia contract} and through independent grant funded projects.
The organisation's financial position and stability has remained strong and the Charity was well able to fulfil all commitments
and plans during the financial year.
In addition to our rent. we continue to pay into a sinking fund set up by the landlord towards the cost of a new roof.
All contingency funds, rent, utilities and insurance have been kept fully up to date and have been adjusted when necessary in
line with current costs and charges.
In line with the Charity Commission rules on financial management the Board have been kept updated through receiving
regular reports at the Board meetings. on the company finances.
All financial matters remain to be reported to the Board at every bi-monthly meeting and every financial decision taken by the
Board is taken with Charity Commission Guidelines in mind.
The Board continues its good managemenl and financial planning approach to have an organisational designated fvnds
account. This is principally to cover the six months running Costs.
Investment Policy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year where possible. almost all of the charity's funds are spent
providing the services to its Carers. The organisation maintains the bulk of its finance in an interest giving account with
enough finance being held in a current accounl to meel Ihe month by month expenditure ofthe organisation.
Statement of trustees, responsibilities
Company law requires trustees, as directors of the company, to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true
and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of Ihe financial year and of its surplus or deficit for thal period. In
preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policie5 and apply them consistently..
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.,
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will
ontinue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention
and detection of fraud and other irregularilies.
