## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 During the period, £150,027 of
financial position at the incoming resources were raised,
end of the period materially via donation from CDS
Action and from Community Dental
Services CIC (hereafter ‘CDS-CIC’), a
not-for-profit social enterprise
headquartered in Bedford, which
provides community dental services
via contract, for instance, for the NHS.
CDS-CIC is also a related party. The
Charity furthers its objectives typically
by making grants to organisations
and enterprises which further its
objectives. Grants and similar
payments in the year in pursuit of the
charitable objective were £14,842 and
£8 was paid in administrative
expenses. These inflows and outflows
materially explain the increase in the
net asset position to £135,410, from a
brought forward balance of £234. All
assets are held in cash at bank.
Statement explaining Para 1.22 No contributions have been made
the policy for holding under restriction. The charity holds
reserves stating why general (unrestricted) reserves to
they are held allow for the effective administration
of its dealings, i.e. the furtherance of
its charitable objective, principally via
the accumulation of cash at bank
such that appropriate grants can be
made to achieve best its objective.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 The Charity started in 2018 with
£10,000 of pledged capital
contribution from its predecessor
charity which was materially settled in
the period, alongside an additional
circa £40,000 which was also
contributed (a single payment of circa
£50,000). On the last day of the
period, CDS-CIC contributed a further
£100,000. Therefore, the charity has
received circa £150,000 of
contributions, including the paying up
of its £10,000 starting capital
balance. Net of its outgoings of circa
£15,000 (materially for grants
awarded) the Charity has circa
£135,000 in reserves, with £10,000 of
this being the initial pledged capital.
