Risk Review The fallout of the Covid-19 outbreak is still being felt by the charity. especially in ternis of its main income generator- the shop in Hyde. The shop has seen a significant a reduction on footfall since the covid outbreak, which has been made worse by the subsequent cost of living crisis. The landlord of the shop is looking to sell the propety. the trustees will wait for the outcome of that - but have security of tenure until 2027 in their lease. The trustees are confident they have overcome the worst of th¢ fall-out but are wary of the impending change in government and the likely fiscal tightening to come. With this in mind we will continue to be cautious in our financial outlook and reserves policy in m¢cting our core aims.
CROHN'S AND COLITIS CONCERN UK- CHARITY NUMBER 1173451 TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The Hyde shop continues to be the main Source of funds and has enabled the charity to fmish the year with an extra £609 in our general fund. During the covid outbreak the landlord suspended rental payments whilst the shop was shut. The charity has been paying these back since reopening and ale pleased to announce that during this flllancial year, all outstanding historical rent debts have now been cleared. The trustees would like to thank the shop staff for all their efforts in keeping positive, motivated and driving the shops increased profitability over the last financial year. We understand the high street is far from reNrning to nonnal levels of footfall. But donations of stock to be sold remains high and the shop staff are confident they can remain competitive against the other charity shops in the town. We will be looking to engage once again in reviewing potential recipients in the coming months, but the financial stsbility and viability of the charity is the priority FINANCIAL REVIEW The accounts for the period have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities and comply with all statutory requirements and the charity's governing document. The net Profit for the year was £609. Reserves Policy Generally any surplus available will be Teinvested in the charity's objectives. However. the charity aims to keep a contingency reserve of £15,000 to cover three months full operating costs of its Hyde charity shops, after which any surplus will then be paid over to the charity.
