## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
For the public benefit the preservation of health of disabled adults with learning difficulties living in West Yorkshire, particularly but not exclusively through the provision of day time support accessible for young adults and disabled students with a learning disability.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the relief of those in need by reason of disability.
## **Achievements and performance**
We have made a little progress in fundraising this year. We have recruited a number of helping hands to help us moving forward. We are planning to become more active in the coming year by increasing our fundraising activites.
## **Financial review**
The net receipts for the year were £48, all unrestricted in nature.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £11,817.
The trustees have decided to adopt a lower limit and an upper limit for the amount of cash reserves within the charity. In setting the lower limit the trustees have considered the level of expenses, based on projected figures which may be required to a cover a period of 12 months without any income and the costs of an orderly wind up of the charity should that be required.
In setting the upper limit, the trustees have considered the maximum amount of cash reserves that it should hold. The policy is in place to prevent the cash reserves of the charity accumulating over time to the point where the charity could be considered to not be deploying its cash reserves appropriately to meet its charitable objectives.
Approved by the board of trustees on 28/10/23
Derrick Clarke (Trustee)
