Financial review
This charity reserves have fallen compared to 2021 due to less income from fundraising being obtained. However, the level of reserves does remain healthy and running costs are kept to a minimum. The current level of reserves will allow the charity to fund projects currently being worked on.
The charity’s reserves are £263,382 (2021: £322,793).
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The governing document of the charity is a Trust deed dated 8 June 2011.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mrs J Morley Mrs K Langlois

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
