Like many charities many cl our usu81adivtS were u)8bk to go al1 during the Covid pandenNc period. This affethd bolh events and Se fundraising adivities. Hobvever. we continued to receive amaarKJ support from Ir members and supporters in holding many smdler local events and received many donations in support ol the Charity. The resum vms an accumulation of fuTrJs in eX$S of our ReSerS Fdi¢y. The last Annual Accounts to F8bfuary %J22 ported a small, plann&J deficit for the year as accrued funds were utilized in running actstrities n%eting our charitable Pufposes. tt was anlidpated this would continue in this finanaal year. However, we have been arrAzed and deltgmed by the 5upF of our ffffiibers in 8rranging multitude of fundraising events. meaning our income exceeded all our expedations. At the samè tlme the need to hold the Annua Family Weekend as a virtua event meant costs ware below expectations. Overall, this has meant that the accounts report a net inc4)ffo for the yw of £23.937. Fundraising Incorr in the ujrrent str8ined fimniaal environmwrt canies a measure of uncertainty, and the Trustees need lo act in a prudent manner to ensure the future of the Charfty. The Trustees are planning how these funds ar• best ut110d in mooting our charitable purposes whilst on$uring protecting the future of the Chanty. This includes the Fthntial to devebp further regional e%ents and increase financial support to our Branches in holding more local events. ALxordingly. the next ntbng year is antIaped to skK)w planned deficit as fvnds are used in running these evwrts. Re8erve8 policy AS a charity, Reh.$ first duty Is to Its baficia88- current and fulure. All the chartty's money mugt b8 BPOnt to 8upport th• ¢haritabl• wrpo4•8 8•t out in our Arlicl•8 of Assooatson. The Board of Truste88 has a duty to act in the interests of the charitys curront and future benefie4aries, including ensuring that the charrty is capable of meeting all its ntraCtual obligations and liabilities. This means, at Ihe most exlrem8. ensuring ihere are suffi<ient funds hekl to co the cost of winding UP the charrty, should this proNt necessary at some future date. It also means 18knng epS to protect the thanty against future reductions in income- the equivalent of a 'rainy day, fund, that would enable the Chanty lo continue to operat8 in support of its b8nefi¢ianes in the event of its income ceasing or ng sFgnfficgntly reduced. A small charity like Rh is %ery wInere to changes in the fundraising environment. as the Coli&19 stridions have demonstrated. It is iMpant to IKotect the chaiity's services to its beneficFarie8 to enakAe them to ntInue, as far as FK)SStble. dew'te reduc*ons tn iOme. The Board mnsiders the particular arcumstafw of Reach in assessing the level of funds required to meet this aim whith we consider shouhd meet. as a minimum, the $1 of half a yearfs operating costs, plus the anticipated cost of winding up the Charrty in the- hopefully very unlikely - event thal this should prove necesswy. This reseNe is to be annuelty by tre Twslees, and in February 2022, A<xxxJnts was 8et al
£135.1YKI. The aut1$all0 of the full Bc*rd of Trustees is requifed to approve any experKliture that would erode reserves bel(yw that tarpet levet. Following the signfficant changes during the year within the Truslee Board. emptoyed staff and member actiwties it was Consider pnjdent to maintain this figure for this year. A ftjrther full revmv is to be carried ¢yJt to ensure this remains appropriate and will be rep)rted up(+ in the next Accjjunts. UnrestrFcted funds as at 28 February 2023 were £210.573. This figure exdudes restricled funds AND designated funds. Full Yunds. are £238,078, with £13,200 restii(aed & £14.305 designated. This remains in excess of our reserve requirement. Restricted fund8 The charity hdds £13,200 as restri(aed funds. This $um (out of an original donation of £1 S,OCX)) was donated to Reath to fund spectfic research. The lunder expressed the wish that this fund be mairthned for researth into the causes of c¢y)genital limb drfferences. fund is ingjfficient to coffffli$sM)n a research project and despite efforts over a long period. we haNe been unth to identsfy any ongoing research Proje that meets the fund's alms. We corrtlnue lo look for a Sble project that meets the requirements of the funder. De81gnated Funds Funds raised by the Branches are induded within the Accounts.
