FINANCIAL REVIEW Flnancial position The Income and Expenditure Account for the year shows total income of £789,50712024'. £871,852]. Total expenditure for the year was £801,96712024= £818,493].

Restricted funds at 31 March 2025 were £88,126. Tangible fixèd assets al 31 March 2025 were £Nil. Free reserves (being unrestricted funds held as restricted and as tangible fixe(J assets) were £529,610. Rese8$ pollcy The trustees have examined the charity's requirements in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be belAveen 3 and 6 months of the expenditure as a cushion for any unexpected liabilities. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the board of Irustees are confident that the current level of reserves. at £526,610, is sufficient to be able to continue the current prFnciple activities of Ihe charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. Golng Concern The charity was recently informed that it was unsuccessful in the Direct Payment re-tender. The charity will redu its cost base and the trustees wntinue to investigate opportunities to enhance the long-term sustainability of the organisation, including new area5 of business and current areas where financial performance can be improved. After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Page 3
Wiltshire Centre for Inde endent Livin Limited Re isterod number.. 05480761 ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW Principal risks and uncertainlies The charity relies on various sources of funding, including local authority grants, commissioned servirEs, and grant funding from trustslfoundations. Risk management is the proSS of identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks to the organisation. The aim is not lo eliminate all risks entirely (this would be very difficult and not cost effective), but rather to reduce the risk to a level that the organisation is comfortable with. Wiltshire CIL'S risk management is focused on slrategic planning and considering how the success of plans and projects effect the future. The risk management process is led by the CEO. the trustees and senior management team. who are responsible for managing risks as part of their job. It enables us to develop an approach that helps us to understand not only the risks but also the opportunities we face. The service reflects the social model of disability and the empowerment of setvice users as a disabled people's organisation through its board of trustees, policies, procedures, and day to day pradice. We have in place a robusl strategic plan to guide and inform the structures in which we work, ensuring compliance through a legal and governan framework to mitigate unforeseen complications by methodically planning and effectively resourcing the service. There is an annual process in place to report on how risk is managed (more often for large or complex projects} or whenever there are incidents that suggest the controls in place need updating. The emphasis is on managing risk, so the process focuses on actions to control risks. All papers and policies going to the board of trustees include a summary of the main risks and suggested mitigation. The CEO works to anticipate and highlight the potential of such risks with the aim of mitigation before reaching a crisis or negative impact on the organisation. We establish a pro-active approach to managing risks that recognises we cannot identify every possible risk and we cannot eliminate risk.. however, we can increase the organi5ation's capability to respond to unforeseen events. The following areas are covered by our Risk Register. Governance External Factors Regulatory Factors Operational Factors Financial Factors With large contracts for service provision with Wiltshire Council and the Integrated Care Board IICB), we recognise the need to review risks regularly and mitigate them as much as possible. We recognise the risks attached to losing contracts when retendering, or contracts being awarded at a lower value to the current value.
