Ensuring our work delivers our aims

In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Financial Review

The Annual Income of the Charity is less than £10.000.00. Against the backdrop of limited resources and insecurities over funding, it has continued to be difficult to plan or develop services. Nevertheless, the charity, with the aid of donations from Safehaven BnB Homes and Lettings Ltd, the Charity was able to carry out its activities. The Charity is does not receive Government contract or Grants. Also no income received from outside the United Kingdom. The Charity is not a Grant making Charity. There is hope that with the credibility gained from the recognition and awards given to the Charity will attract more donations.

Principal Funding Sources

(A company limited by guarantee)

Funding from the profits of sister company Safehaven BnB Homes and Lettings Ltd,
Donations from individuals and corporate bodies.

Investment Policy

Most of the Charity’s funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment. No funds available at the moment for investments.

Reserves Policy

The Management Committee has a plan to establish a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the expenditure. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The present level of reserves available to the charity of £142.00 therefore falls significantly short of this target level. Although the strategy is to continue to build reserves through planned operating surpluses, the Management Committee is well aware that it unlikely that the target range can be reached for at least five years. In the short term the Management Committee has also considered the extent to which existing activities and expenditure could be curtailed, should such circumstances arise.

Plans for Future Periods

The charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. Plans are also being developed to work on expanding our Training programmes for children.
