The closure ol Natwest's Oadby branch in Septgmber necessitated a swllch lo paying in aither at the main branch at Granby Street or the branch at East Park Road.

Totsl restricted funds for specifi¢ projects at tha ènd of Ihg year werg £129,525 leaving £28,696 in unrestrictèd funds, but prudenco in the us& ol funds remains important. There hava been no significant events which have affo¢ted the financial results during the year.

The process adopted by the Charity is that the n& trustees work with the existing Irustees assisting on parti¢ular activities and projects run by Ihg charity. Once the new trustees have gainèd enough experiencè, thèy are given the task of leading a particular actwity or proje¢l and. accordingly, ol reporting progress at the trustees, regular meetings.

Futur? Plans The financial staloFnents show Ihat the Trusl has continued lo progress satisfactorily during Ihe year and we èxptscl that to continue during 2026, although reservès ar8 lik8ly lo reduce again with the continuing professional restoration of OJF 1918nd the repairs and restoration work needed to soveral of the bu8es. Conversely. we are still expe¢ling a logacy in excess of £10,000 which will help lo offset th& position. With further work on thè Tram D8POt lo be lakgn forward as soon as possibl&, these remain ¢hallanging bLrt exciting limes and the trustee5 expect to demonstrate further our charitable obleclives durin9 2026. Rlsk Managemont Th9 trustees have idantified the principal risk lo the charily is 8 lack of guaranteed funding SUPPDrt, which could result in inability to continue to meet its objectives. To mitigate this risk, the Truslees plan to build over a lima a minimum reserve equal to one year's operational expenditure. Careful annual budgeting, tight controls on 8xpendiluie and effective fLJndiaising from commercial and individuals, sponsors and Gharilable Trust are importanl laclors in achievin9 this goal. and have been pursu8d vigorously in the period under revi@w. The 8oard has currently drawn up a written risks register, with a note of plannèd mitigations for each idènfy'flad risk. This will be discussed, updated and agrèèd each year.
