Financial Re¥lew This reporting period marks our charity's second year review, set against the backdrop of ongolng challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, Gaza war and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These global crises have profoundly impacted the livelihood of our local communily, e5c3lating the demand for our services. As a small charity, we are acutely feeling the strain. particularly in light of the rising c05t of livin& which make5 our mission even more challenging. Despite facing s18nrficant financial constraints and the challenge of securing support from local government, we managed to raise £6,923 and spent £6,713, leaving a modest surplus of £209 for thi5 financial year. However, this doe5 little to offset the ongoing financial strain, with our over311 cash funds still at a deficit of £3,165. Given these hard5hip5, any leads or guidance on securing grants would be greatly appreciated, as additional funding would enable us to expand our support to a wlder community in need.
