Financial Review for Trustees' Annual Report
Financial Summary
During the reporting period, the charity managed its financial activities primarily through its PayPal account. The charity saw a steady stream of public support through individual donations and subscriptions, as well as the PayPal Giving Fund.
The PayPal Giving fund is not a giving fund at all. It actually a vessel through which money passes that members of the public have donated via “pick a charity” option on ebay etc. We note this here to point out generosity of the public rather than PayPal Giving Fund.
Total incoming resources for the period amounted to £821.60. Total resources expended to support the charity’s objectives and operations amounted to £832.99.
Reserves Policy
The year-end balance in the PayPal account stands at £411.28. These funds are held as unrestricted reserves to cover upcoming operational costs and project-related expenses. The trustees continue to monitor the balance between incoming public donations and the necessary transfers from the main bank account to maintain a sustainable operating model.
