Flnanelal r•¥l•w
The Trustees consider that the year 30 June 2025 has been a difficult year with rising costs and considerable
¢ompetition lor funding across the Charitable sect￿. Incoming rèsourees a￿ down from all bul one source
Ilundraisingl which is consislenl with tho pressure of extemal fUr￿e[S Igranlsl and Ihe general public Idonationsl.
Long tem and sustainable fundrai51ng has been Ihe aspiralion to maintaining and growing the Charity but with less
grants ol this type and more compelition for ih)se still available, we have had to seek shorter term funding which
roslricts the Charity's abilily to ￿ach more lamih&s.
The Trusle&s. In collaboration with our CEO. have continued lo be financialty responsib￿ with our spending and
whilst oulg9ing re50urGes 8re up overall. the rise is almost èxclusiv8ty conceming restriGted expenditure which is
fully funded. The Charity has only seen a small rise in unrestricted expenditure. The Trustees still consider the
Charity lo be a going concem due lo the succèss in smaller grants and the robust resetves policy Ibelowl, however
this is kept under regular review The Charity has reduced rts Reserves Pdicy from 9 months to 4 tllonths.
Comment and ftsed￿Ck from funding bKls suggested that our PfevKJus position provided a high level of reserve
funding precluding the need for additional funds. Howevèr. thè Truslees do consider thi5 a delicate ba￿ncing act
and note that ensuring ihe Chanty has enough in reserves to Ixjver a drop in incoming resources is imperative to
the Charity running as a going concem and our reswnsibililies as Trustees.

R8s8rv8s poIiGy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted lunds which have not been designated for a specific us8 should be
mointained at a level equivalent lo four month'5 expenditu￿. The Twstees consider that reserves al thi5 level will
ensure that, in the event ol a significant drop in funding. they w¢ll be able lo continue the charity's Cufrenl activities
while consideration is given lo ways in which additional funds may be raised. In addibon this level ol reserves
should not have a detrimental effect when being considefed for grant funding. This level ol reserves has been
maintained throughout yèar.
Long4gTm sustainability
Trustees approved a CEO requ$sl lo engage a specialist Consyltanl lo work with both the Board and the CEO Io
identify how best Holding Space could re41esign ils 0￿rating model lo ensure long tefm operational and finan¢ial
suslainabilily. Trustees are confident that the societsl need io ihe seThices provided by Hokling Space is increasing
and had ambitions that Holding Spacè bo¢orres further embedded in k)cal support ne￿rks. A review was carried
out over a period ol aroLSnd 2 months, wlh the Board receiving a rèport, and carrying out a series ol workshops to
identify next steps. An Improvement plan is being ConS￿er•d by the Board, working with the CEO, and included
developing a suecession plan for the CEO. This work ramains a focus for Trustees. Support has been secured for
the medium tgrm from 8 suitably experienc¢d and qualified Colleague to work with tha CEO and provide regular
