Strategic report
The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
During the year the charity raised £163,548 (2021: £352,325) from donations, legacies and similar incoming resources.
Financial review
a. Going concern
The trustees are hoping to raise awareness of the charity through the use of social media and are looking into the possibility of raising money online in addition to seeking corporate donations. After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
b. Reserves policy
It is the policy of the trustees to pay out the majority of funds as grants, while at the same time building up a small working capital reserve.
c. Financial performance
During the year the charity received donations, legacies and similar incoming resources of £163,548 (2021: £352,325), made £157,337 grants (2021: £349,145) and incurred other expenses £4,015 (2021: £2,383). This resulted in a net income of £2,196.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
