## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|We thought that 2022 was a good year. This
year has surpassed all expectations. The
Trustees are delighted to report yet another
superlative level of fundraising income in the
year ended 28 February 2022 – the highest in its
history. For the year, £262,233 was raised. This
is far highe than the £145,023 raised in 2022.
This is largely down to the ongoing efforts of
one of the trustees, Sophia Warner, who has
spent time in the UK speaking to would-be
donors and raising profile and awareness of the
charity and its activity. As a result, several key
corporate donors have come on board,
including several schools. Her efforts in reaching
out to significant corporate sponsors are
bearing fruit.
The Trustees are hugely grateful to Sophia for
her efforts and to the new donors for making
such a difference.
Cash balances at the year-end are relatively low,
due to the application of funds to specific key
projects in the year.
As ever, we are indebted to the many
individuals who carry on sponsoring Pebbles
through monthly donations. They do not seek
the limelight, yet their contributions are the
bedrock of the charity, and allow Pebbles to
plan with some certainty for the future.|

|**Financial Review**|||

|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity has a modest retention of cash on
the balance sheet at the year end. This is due
to the fact that most of the funds are
transferred to a South African account and are
earmarked for projects in South Africa.|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The charity holds sufficient reserves in the UK
to meet local administrative costs and
expenses, which are minimal. The funds raised
are transferred to a South African account to
fund projects in South Africa; the frequency of
transfer is limited due to transfer costs.|
