Our donor base is mainly the Catholic Traveller community. We have base regular donors from

times in the Catholic liturgical year which attracts spontaneous donors, e.g. advent before Christmas
and Lent before Easter, which are traditional times for Catholics to become more involved in charity.

The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept
available funds in the current account.
Reserves policy and going concern

reserves. There are no restricted reserves.
The Charity's main source of income is donations. The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any
adjustment5 that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.
The trustees consider that the charity is a going concern. Any reliance on donations is managed
through a flexible approach to project delivery.
