Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The charity’s regular income has been maintained, though additional contributions are lower than last year as those were largely for Covid relief. Grants have been made for the charity’s work in India as required from time to time, and expenses have been kept to a minimum; the only substantial expenditure this year has been the airfare to bring two of our Indian partners to meet supporters in this country; much of the cost will be met by voluntary additional contributions from the trustees. |
