Chairfs Annual Review April 2023- March 2024
This year Nest has been as busy as ever. Free- mostly, at least-from restrirtions around COVID, we have
had a year providing support to families without additlonal external pressures.
Nest has, again, attracted an ever-increasing number of enquiries which has meant that the team is still
very busy, a continued sign of the crucial need for Nest and the services we provide.
Following another amazing effort from Liz and Shushana means we have received continued grants and
donations from Bucks CC, Rothschild Foundation and Heart of Bucks (Kop Hill climb), a very generous
donation from the William Harding Foundation, the Stockwell Cliffe Foundation, The Entertainer, together
with Cheddington Wl raising funds for Nest as their chosen charity, Nether Winchendon holding a fund-
raising carol service, our continued support from Pledge and Promlse donors, Buckinghamshire Lottery
supporters and other private donors. We are always so grateful to all our sponsors. Without your help we
would not be able to continue.
It has been anotheryear of incredible supportfrom all our volunteers. We thank you all. Families are sadly
more than ever in need of our support, and your continued provislon of time and emotional stability helps
our families work through their challenges. You should all be very proud of your achlevements and your
dedication. Nest is built upon your efforts.
As ever, Nest Aylesbury Vale is run by Shushana and Sheena like a well-oiled machine. All of the families
depend upon thelr experience and kindness In ensuring Nest provides its excellent support blanket.
Once agaln, I remain amazed at how Nest and its volunteers manage to help so many struggling families,
week in, week out. Thank you, all.
I wish you and yourfamilies well.

Nest Aylesbury Vale has budgeted and controlled its finances so that all Ilkely expenses for up to three
months are capable of being met out of cash resources currently held. In addltlon, a reserve is
necessary to cover rent up to the next break point and any other statutory payments. In total this
equates to approximately slx months, expenditure. However, the tlmlng and amount of grants recelved
can increase this by up to a further six months, which means that our total reserves can fluctuate
between six months and a full year. The present level of reserves represents approximately twelve
months, attivity at our current level.
There are no material commltments or expenditure planned which are not Included in the balance
sheet and have not been deducted from the assets In calculating the reserves.
