still a risk.

Financial Review
----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 The charity has enjoyed financial
financial position at the stability this year although income
end of the period has decreased significantly from the
last financial year. We have still seen
a number of fundraising events
cancelled or curtailed – it is out hope
that this trend will be reversed over
the coming financial year.
Statement explaining Para 1.22 The reserves policy of the Charity is
the policy for holding to hold a sum equivalent to one
reserves stating why year’s normal running costs. This
they are held should be sufficient to meet any
unforeseen item of major expenditure
and / or to be able to continue in the
short term, funding planned activities.
Currently reserves will be allocated
towards additional listening units to
ensure that homes who wish to
receive a service do so. In
anticipation of local area DAB, we
may increase the reserves in line with
anticipated licencing and running
costs over the 2023 – 2024 year.

that more funds will need to be kept
