Financial Review

cial Review
Review of the charity’s fin- ancial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	In its sixth year of operation, the charity received £2,197 in donations and miscel- laneous income, and incurred expenditure of £15,902. Having begun the year with reserves of £31,921 , it meant that the charity ended the financial year with a balance at the end of the financial year of £19,026.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The charity began its fifth year with re- serves of £31,921 and ended with re- serves of £19,026. In the expectation that the flow of donations would lessen as time elapsed since the tragedy, and that also the offering of suitable holiday ac- commodation by local providers would similarly lessen, the intention of the trust- ees remains to use its reserves to contin- ue to offer support and solidarity to the Grenfell Community into the seventh year of its existence.
