## _**Corfu Umbrella Charitable Incorporated Organisation**_
## _CorfuUmbrella@icloud.com_
_Registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales Charity Number 1189739_
## **Annual Report for 6/4/2024 to 5/4/2025**
As at 6/4/2024 the Corfu Umbrella CIO (“CU”) had a cash balance of £37,753.
During the year CU received donations of £14,723. We also received £5,501 of Gift Aid. This incudes claims made in the prior reporting period but received this year.
We received some of our donations via PayPal and other “platforms” such as GoFundMe which include some Gift Aid reclaimed on our behalf by the platform operators.
We earned interest of £460 on our deposit account.
In the period CU made donations of £20,915:
- £8,072 to buy food on behalf of The Corfiot Union for Rescuing Animals (“KEPZ”), a Greek registered charity in Central Corfu.
- £6,446 to the Czech registered charity Tlapky Z Korfu Z.S. (“PAWS”) which helps dogs and cats in NW Corfu. This was used to renovate a treatment room for cats, buy food and pay veterinary bills.
- £6,396 to purchase veterinary medicines from Merlinvet, a UK based wholesaler. These were donated in kind to KEPZ and PAWS. Our charitable status allows us to purchase these with zero rate VAT.
During the period we opened at new multi-currency bank account with Wise to facilitate foreign currency payments. This has enabled us to begin making payments in Euros directly, rather than via the personal bank account of one our trustees. We retain our current and savings accounts with Cooperative Bank.
CU’s assets as at 5/4/2025 were £37,522 consisting entirely of our bank account balances. CU has no other assets or liabilities.
We have no employees and the trustees claim no expenses.
## **Independent Review**
Our income for the year did not exceed £25,000. We have not therefore had this report independently reviewed.
## **Charitable status and objects**
CU operates in England And Wales and Greece. It was registered on 01 June 2020 as a Charitable Incorporated Institution (“CIO”).
The object of CU is to advance for the public benefit such charitable purposes as the trustees see fit from time to time, in particular but not exclusively on the island of Corfu, Greece.
## **Reserves Policy**
All UK charities must include in their annual report their policy on reserves, stating the level of reserves held and why they are held. Where the charity does not have a reserves policy in place, it should include a statement to that effect.
We are a grant giving charity with no employees or long-term obligations. The trustees have therefore concluded that no reserves policy is currently necessary or appropriate.
