Stren th & Stem Ltd Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW Resern'es policv Tl)e Charity Cominission Sets out the responsibilities of tlie Trustees of a charity to deterinine the level of reserve5 It needs to hold to manage the risks inherent to each individual charity. Charitable funds generally break dowii into three types.. restricted fuiid5- to be spent 011 specific activities, as agreed with tlie donor; 2. desi¥nated fuiids- specific obligations or cominitinents tSte¢S Iiave L1105en to make on future activities- and 3. general funds I'free. reserves - lio restrictions as to their use, witliin the or¥ani5ation's charitable tsbjectives. Both designated and general funds are unrestricted. Trustees have full discretion on how these are spent, within the charitable objectives. The trustees of Strength & Stem have detemjined thai the charity is required to hold unrestricted reserves in a designaied reserve named ihe Operating Reserve to ensure the stability of its missioi), programmes, employment, and 01)going operations. The main ain) of the Operating Reserve is to provide an internal source of funds to allow the chariiy to continue to meet lis charitable objeciives during siiuations of financial uncenainty including unanticipad loss in funding. The Operaiing Reserve may be used for nonrecurring expenses that will build long-term capacity. such as staff development. Operating Reserves are not intended to replace a pern)anent loss of funds or eliminate an ongoing budget gap. To manage the above, the trusiees have agreed rhat the target minimum Operating Reserve Fund should be equal tLI three months of average future operating costs. As at 31 March 2025: this is valued ai £61,983 which is equivalent to 3.8 monihs of average fure operating expenditure. The trustees have asse%sed the maji)r risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risk%. FUTURE PLANS In the coming year, the charity plans to build on the success of Flowers for the Fure, our priiicipal programme, welcoining another 15 modem slavery survivors onto its 2025-?026 cohort refeed througFh our bFrowiiig partner network. The charity will continue to bFrow ai)d develop its peer 5UPPOrt project and alumiii netWOTk. We will initiate the an)bition of the StTength & Steni five year strategy across five themes.. depth, scale, partnerships, sustainability and social ei)terprise.
