Review and develop the Consortium funding strategy to ensure future sustainability.

Financial Review
The economic climate continues to put pressure on local authority funding with the number and in some cases the value of grants available reducing. The Consortium and its members are also seeing more competition for funding opportunities from other funders such as National Lottery and Comic Relief, presenting an increasing need to diversify income and work collaboratively to secure financial sustainability.
During the year the charity generated income of £427,818 (2024: £146,993). Total expenditure during the year was £367,933 (2024: £75,926) resulting in a surplus of £59,885 (2024: £71,067).
Total reserves at 31 March 2025 were £179,645 (2024: £119,760) of which restricted reserves were £8,816 (2024: £420), designated funds were £84,920 (2024: £81,351) and general funds were £85,909 (2024: £37,989).
The trustees consider the financial performance of the charity during the year and its financial position at the end of the year to be healthy and as expected.

Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) - continued For the year ended 31 March 2025
Reserves policy
The trustees have adopted a policy to ensure that the charitable company is able to meet all current and expected liabilities and that the Consortium would be able to either carry on its work, look for alternative funding or wind down the Consortium. There are no redundancy liabilities as all core paid staff are employed by a third party.
The trustees have established a policy where the minimum level of unrestricted funds allows for 6 months of core running costs, and the maximum allows for additional working capital to continue to create balance sheet strength and support future activities. This range is £43,000 - £63,000.
As at 31 March 2025 the free reserves (general funds excluding fixed assets) stand at £83,811. Excess free reserves over the maximum are expected to be used in the next financial year both to continue delivering activities and as a buffer to support future sustainability beyond current funding cycles.
In addition to the free reserves, the trustees hold £87,954 in designated funds (see note 10).
Structure, governance and management
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 7 August 2008, amended by special resolution on 28 April 2011 and registered as a charity on 5 January 2012. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under the Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute £10 only. Overall management of the Charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are appointed under the terms of the governing document.
Appointment of Directors
A third of directors must retire on an annual basis but can apply for re-election. However, no director may serve more than 9 years out of a 10-year period. Directors are voted onto the Board by the members of the charitable company.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
