The cost of charitable activities was £11,750 . This was spent directly and indirectly to support the charities activities. At the end of the year there was a favorable net movement of funds amounting to £13,827. At the end of the year, 31 December 2021, there was an unrestricted fund balance amounted to £14,664. The charity’s policy is to retain reserves, in the form of unrestricted funds, to a level where they equate in value approximately 12 months expenditure.
