Financial Review FY24
Income
During the financial year ended 31 December 2024 (FY24), the charity received total income of £33,636 .
Income from charitable activities, including fees and charges, amounted to £20,386 , while donations from individuals and churches contributed £12,220 . Additionally, income generated from the sale of confectionery during operational weeks totalled £296 and donations received during activities amounted to £100 .
Income for FY24 was significantly higher than in previous years, primarily due to the receipt of a one-off donation of £10,000 . This exceptional contribution has materially strengthened the charity’s financial position, resulting in total income for the year exceeding expenditure by a substantial margin.
The charity also holds two restricted funds designated for specific purposes. During the year, £634 was drawn from these funds and transferred into the general operating account in accordance with their intended use.
Expenditure
Total expenditure for the year amounted to £23,123 , as summarised below:
| Category Amount(£) |

The trustees continue to ensure that expenditure is consistent with the charity’s objectives and that all funds are used efficiently and responsibly to maximise charitable impact.
Financial Position and Reserves
The opening bank balance as at 1 January 2024 was £801 , and the closing bank balance as at 31 December 2024 was £11,314 , reflecting a healthy surplus and an overall improvement in the charity’s financial position.
The trustees will review the most appropriate use of the FY24 surplus to support the charity’s objectives and to ensure the continued delivery of its activities. Maintaining an appropriate level of reserves remains an important aspect of sound financial management, providing stability and flexibility to meet any future substantial or unforeseen expenses.
The trustees are satisfied with the charity’s financial performance for FY24. While income for FY25 is expected to return to levels more consistent with previous years, the charity’s current strong financial position gives confidence that it will continue to maintain a positive balance sheet and financial stability in the year ahead.
