continuing to be the case for the foreseeable future.

Internal and external factors

We are able to measure the performance of the charity and consider its activities a success if:

1. There have been several programmes run for children, young people and adults which have been well attended.

2. Overt opportunities have been created for young people to seek advice and support.

3. The charity has been able to financially support children, young people and / or adults to attend residential holidays within a Christian setting.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

RegulargivingandincomefromsharesinHenryBootplchelptoprovidethebulkofourincome.Income is
supplemented by reclaiming an amount of gift aid each year.

Principal funding sources

The charities income from the year primarily came from three sources:

1. Regular giving from supporters

2. One off donations

3. Dividends from the shares held in Henry Boot plc.

another source of anticipated income.

Thiscombinationof sourcesof incomeallowsthe charityto investin projectswhilstbeingreasonablyconfidentthat funds
will continue to be available to serve any additional causes that fit with the charity's purposes.
