The young Thomen who access Conta¢l are considered homele&s with no suitable ho81g to live where tbey can k kept safe and free from harm. Many of the girls will arrive with little or no beloDgings, with no fomily or support system. The young w0c supwrted by Contact come from a rallgc of backgrounds with many having ¢xp¢ri¢n¢¢d parental breakdo1, physi¢aI and ¢n)otional abuse, s¢xual exploitatio oppressive family regie5, forced iagc and illvolv¢mctLt in gallg8.

Contact holds reserves in ordw lo ¢nsur¢ ntinUi(Y iti tlK cvclli of a largc variation of illcome such as a fall in donations or our inabAlity to secr¢ sufficient grants. This is important due to the general un¢¢rtainty around government spending plans and the unpredictability atDuod tbc availability of suitable grant fundillg at any given tiinc. Wc must l)av¢ suf6¢i¢iit moncy to ¢ct our contractual liabiliiies and safeguard both our s¢rvice users and our employee4 together with suKicient fimds for emergencies that JDay arise to cover major repairs to our Ig¢, old, thr¢¢-Storey building. Th¢ Tmstees have thuefor¢ dctcrn]illcd that distnbutable reserves shall k maintained at a lever of between 4 and 8 months of budgeted expenditure. plus £IO.000 for em¢rg¢ncyr¢paiT& This mCaDS thatth¢ reserve rallgeTequit is bLaween £108,500 to £197,000. Thi$range allows the I'rustccs to remain confident that Contact remains a going concern whilst 8till continuing to apply for short and longer-terni fi]nding frotn a variety of sowces. At 31 March 2024 Conta¢t held thithin unTestri¢ted distributrble reserves approximately £179,(M]O. This amount is within our reserve range, alld not deemed to be exce&sive.
