Sheffield Young Carers Project Trustees, annual report- continued Forthe year ended 31 March 2024 Nnanclal revlew The results for the year ended 31 March 2024 are shown on the accompanying financial statements. We entered thefinancial year 2023-24 with the majority of funding secured and plans in place to secure additional grants and donations. Successful funding applications ensured that we were fully funded during the year. There are no uncertainties about the Charity continuing to operate in 2024-5 and beyond. Designated funds, including the remaining Paul Hamlyn Foundation investment, have been allocated according to any funding requirements and to meet the strategic objectives of the charity. For example, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation designated funds will part fund our Programme of Influence (Action Group and YCNVI since some restricted funding streams have ended. and the Worshipful Company of Pewterers funding has been allocated to education development work. The allocation of anyfurther designated funds will be in accordance with our Reserves Policy Isee below). Reserves Polic The trustees review the reserves annually. This year the Board of Trustees considered the additional risk of the ongoing cost of living crisis in preparing SYC'S reserves policy, plus the ongoing need to ensure sustainable funding for the continuation of SYC'S work. The Board agreed a minimum reserve level to cover potential project closure costs and funds be used for development purposes, includin8 the possible recruitment of new staff, as well as a contingency for the ending of grants if we are unable to secure any further grant funding in the year. This need for a sustainability reserve is important as the competition for charitable trust funding and other grants is increasin8. The Board agreed thatthe reserves target at 31 March 2024 needs to be between £150.000 and £200,000 (not including designated funds). As at 31 March 2024 the Charity held free reserves of £192.027 (these are general funds not including fixed assetsl12023: £190,695). The Board of Trustees determined that year end free reserves are within policyi and opportunitie5 are taken to generate unrestricted reseryes and this policy will be reviewed annually. In addition to free reserves, the charity held £206.397 of designated funds to be spent on specific projects12023'. £107,172). Restrittedfunds held atthe year end were £206,246 (2023: £236,194). 15
