FINANCIAL REVIEW This is only the second operational year that Orchard Counselling have been concentrating on Iheir core counselling services for the Wanta9e, Oxford community. Therefore, given that this is a relatively new operation the income of £49,166 is encouraging and bodes well for the future. Operational expenses were £52,810 for the year, with the majority of this going towards staff, adminislralion and rental costs. Therefore, expenses were kept lo a minimum by keeping a tight ship and having just a few enthusiastic and productive staff. In conclusion, having an operational profit of just -£3,644 in the second year of operation gives the charity a positive outlook for the future in being able to maintain quality counselling serVI￿S in a SLJStainable way It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained al a level equivalent lo 6 month's expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves al this Isvel will miligal8 against the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able lo Continue the ¢harily's Current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
