BOUNCEI started the financial year wf(h circa £47k funds. Over the accounting period expenditu
was circa £145k and we finished the year wi(h circa £36k in the bank having raised over £135k.
RosoN8s Pol
For Core serwce provision we agree there should *￿yS be at least one full teryns fund wured prior
to work beginning or eonlinuing in a school-based programme of 5UPPOrt. Whilst r( is envisaged lo be
an exceptional circumstanrEs this allows sufficient lime to exit the servi¢e and manage ending
8essions with vulnerable clients appropriately.
We agre8 that al any point we will hold a reseNe of unrestflcted funds lo cover 3 months of fix8d
costs. As at the 31 March 2024. £35,744 was held in unrestricted reseryes. which is equwalenl to just
