pite holiday in October for 17 survivors, be-
reaved and their support workers in Mousehole.
The charity also continued its awareness and

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.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£19,026| |Reasons for holding zero
