Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | During 2024 the Trust received £0. The Trust has been set up with a lump sum raised from the Frome Half Marathon between 2012 and 2016 and a small contribution was made from the proceeds of this event when it was taken over by The Race Organiser from 2017 onwards. Due to the impact of Covid-19, The Race Organiser was only able to make a small contribution to the Trust in 2021 and no contribution has been made since then. During 2024 the charity made an overall loss as the lump sum originally donated gradually gets allocated through grants made. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The Trust does not deliberately hold Reserves. A lump sum was given to the Trust at its inception and this is added to each year. It is expected that this lump sum will gradually diminish as grants are made in future years. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | £13,189.83 |
