5 Financial review
5.1 Details of any funds materially in deficit
The Charity has no funds which are materially in deficit.
5.2 Policy on reserves
The Charity’s policy on reserves is to generate and maintain a balance which is sufficient:
-
a) to preserve the financial viability of the Charity in the event that unforeseen and/or unavoidable circumstance precipitate a short-term fall in its income;
-
b) to enable the Charity, in the interests of meeting its objectives, to undertake from time to time the setting up of new and innovative projects on a pilot basis to demonstrate the viability and potential benefits of such activities as a precursor to securing the external funding necessary to maintain such projects on an on-going basis.
For these purposes the Charity will endeavour to generate and maintain reserves which are at least 0% of its annual turnover.
5.3 Principal sources of funding and outgoings
The Charity’s principal sources of funding are donations from individuals. The Trustees aim to hold annual and ad-hoc fundraising events, as well as seeking corporate sponsorship and donations.
The Charity’s outgoings will primarily be on charitable activity in line with its objects as set out in clause 2.2. The Charity seeks to be highly efficient and, asides from unavoidable card charges and fees of the Independent Examiner, aims to spend less than 1% of its income on administration overhead.
5.4 Remuneration of trustees
All Trustees act in a voluntary capacity and receive no remuneration or other material benefits from their services to the Charity.
Out-of-pocket expenses necessarily and reasonably incurred by Trustees in promoting the purposes of the Charity are reimbursed at cost. No Trustees claimed any expenses during the year.
5.5 Financial status
MEMC’s current resources from unrestricted donations are more than sufficient to meet its outgoings for at least next year.
All the indications are that this will remain the case for the foreseeable future.
5.6 Statutory statements on liabilities
The Trustees declare that:
-
✔ The Charity has given no guarantees where potential liability under the guarantee is outstanding at the date of this statement ( e.g. any outstanding/ongoing contract or legal undertaking to buy or provide specific services); and

7 Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Make Every Move Count
Year ended 31 March 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Make Every Move Count (‘the charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trustee’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
