The Breck Foundation Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2025 FIfyANCIAL REVIEW Reserves poli¢v Breck Foundation has a policy for holding a minimum reserv¢, representit)g about three months, worth of operating costs and includes enough funds to meet any liabilities to its staff and other creditors. should we find ourselves unable to continue operating. W¢ also want to ¢nsure that Breck Foundation can meet its liabilities in the event of an adverse effect on income generation. Average expenditure for 3 months is £70,877 {2024: £59,468}. At the end of 2024-25, after a deficit of in¢om¢ over expenditure of £9,911, Breck Foundation had reserves held totalling £36,149 (2024.. £46,060), of which the free reserves rhal are not restricted, ar¢ £16,303 (2024.. £11,498) We acknowledge that the charities free and combined reserv¢s are below the minimum required, and are Significantly below the average 3 monthly expenditure. lo ensure the continuation of the charity- This is under revision and regularly discussed at board meetings. We are in the process of ensuring all our grant applications are followed through and focusing on geographical spread of freelancers and growing our international awareness to bring in addilional fvnding lo cover the foundation pr¢s¢ntation s¢h¢m¢s. We plan lo apply for grants continually, to maintain the sustainable financial position of the charity. Due to changes in regulations. as a charity we have invested in our Policy Work and invested in our IT support and systems in the year, to ensure we are meetin(y our governace. These costs have contributed to majority of the defictit mad¢ in the year. but we have reviewed income to cover this moving forward. In May 2025, a £30,000 unrestricted grant was received by the Asia Comrnunity Fund, which 500/0 has been deferred lo our 2026 financial year. reducing our reserves shown at the ycar end. To nonnalise this adjustment, our free reserves would show £31,303 and Combined reserves al £51,149, a5 at the year end. Although thi5 IS still below the minimum requir¢(L we are happy that our reserves are steadily building up and we plan to meet the policy in the next 2 years. Going Concern After making appropriate enquiries, the Ttustees have a r¢asonabl¢ expe¢tation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeabl¢ ture. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concem basis in preparing financial statements.
