FiDancial review
Financial position

¢xpendinw¢ ha5 iD¢r¢ased year on year by arol￿d 21% in aJb effon io rnaintsin the increase4J d¢mond for our servi¢¢s
that has continued to aTiSe during the last financial year. Despite the incre3svJ Icvel of spending thc rescrves p)sition

of six months, worth of aDnual swd.
