Financial Review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves: Cash in bank at end of 2023 £4,600.08. The main financial risk to the charity is lack of funds due to less fundraisers and/or donations. There is no running costs so these funds are in place in case of any unforeseen expenditure due to emergency funds needed in Ankoma, Ghana. There have been some issues with the AO bank account with Barclays so they trustees are planning to open a new account, and will be operating with money in PayPal account until issue resolved.
Details of any funds materially in deficit: N/A
Further financial review details: Our sole source of funds this year has been from donors and fundraising events, we expect this to continue in the next financial year.
