achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|We have been able to continue, this
year, with successful delivery of all
established services. In December our
group worker, Sarah Moore, moved on to
pastures new. Her role was filled by
volunteer Alison Yau, who had been an
amazing support to Sarah and the
families in our play and learn groups. It
was a natural progression for Alison to
step up and meant that consistency
remained for the families that accessed
these services.
All staff were trained in First Words
Together, an early language support
program that is run by the National
Literacy Trust. This program is being
delivered as a group but also as 1-1 in
family’s homes.
We have welcomed newly trained
volunteers this year, as well as having
the continued support of our active
volunteers. The support they offer makes
a huge difference.
The staff team remain dedicated to the
work that they do and provide the best
support they can to all the families we
have open to us. Our families are
supported by 1-1 home visits but also via
our groups.| ## **Financial review** |**Financial review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|This year has shown an in-year deficit of -
£52,237 compared with last year’s £10,876
deficit. This is due to a gap in new income at
the end of the financial year which was
addressed in the following year. .
Our unrestricted reserves sat at £29,243 at
year end which was of concern – this was
closely monitored as we entered the new
financial year and new fundraising sources
were put in place.
Our future fundraising strategy will develop
the resilience of our income by:
1. Continuing to plan on a full cost
recovery basis
2. Make use of smaller grants and
different project models to diversify
our income
3. Identify future risk points where large
grants come to an end, and
proactively plan for this.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**The trustees have designated £45,000 as**
**a reserve to cover the costs of closing**

**Charity’s termination. We aim to carry**
**between 3 and 6 months running costs at**
**any one time, which based on this year’s**
