Dementla Fii¥t Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025 The trustees who are also directors of the charty for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present thelr report with the financial statements of the charty for the year ended 30 June 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Ststement of Recommended pract1￿ applicable to charities p￿parIng their accounts in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effectlve l January 2019). OBJECllVES AND ACllVrnES It has been a challenging year with the results showing a Ioss for the year as Income did not increase in line with costs but fortunately we were able to cope with this reversal as we had built a reserve to cope with such an outcome. The biggest element in the fall of income was the reduttion of income from Social Servi￿ which dropped by fifty percent down from approximately £60,CNJO to £30,(M)O presumably due to lack of funds, ironically thls £30,oc￿ reduction almost matches our loss for the year. Looking fonNard we expect another challerolng year as changes to National Insuran￿ will increase our costs. The trustees would like to thank our thff for their hard work over the last year. srRiicfuRE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document The charlty is controlled by its governing dc(ument, a deed of trust, and constitutes a lIm￿ed company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
