Financial Review
Review of the charity's
financial position at the end
of the penod
Para 121
The financial poswtion for the charity at the end
of the reporting period continues to be in a
healthy position. Income to the charity is from
donations which have continued throughout
the financial albeit they are lower than the
previous year. This has enabled food. clothing
and provisions including toiletries to be
distributed to those who need it. The financial
posvtion of the charity will enable the charity to
continue to fulfil its purpose to relieve the
suffering of homeless people and rough
sleepers in Birmingham.
As the chartty is reliant on donations and fund
raising. it holds reserves to ensure that there
are funds in place to enable it to continue to
meet its objective5. Demands on the charity in
tems of clothing, food and toiletries is
dependent on the number of rough sleepers,
homeless people on the streets. There
continues to be an increase in demand during
winter and summer mnths. The charityworks
to ensure that it has sufficient funds to enable
it to continue wrth its outreach work as
donations are not guaranteed and are not
regular enough to be totally dependent purety
on donation. Donations for the current
financial year are reduced by over 30%
compared to the previous year.
At the end of the financial year the charity had
a healthy balance of £23.465
