Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 At the conclusion of the current reporting
period, it is noted that the charity's total
income amounted to less than £25,000.
The current cash funds at year end were
£10,287.
Despite this, it is imperative to
acknowledge the prudent financial
management and resource allocation
exercised by the organisation in navigating
through this period. The team has
demonstrated resilience and adaptability in
delivering on its charitable objectives
amidst challenging financial circumstances.
Moving forward, a strategic focus on
diversifying income streams and optimising
operational efficiencies will be pursued to
enhance financial sustainability and further
support the mission of the charity."
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The charity does not currently hold any
reserves.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £0
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 As a charity recently established, having
been in existence for only eight months, it
is important to clarify that the charity
currently holds no reserves. The absence of
reserves at this stage reflects the inherent
nature of a nascent charity, where resources
are primarily directed towards initiating and
developing core programs, infrastructure
establishment, and operational necessities.
During this foundational phase, all available
funds have been diligently allocated
towards fulfilling the charitable objectives
and ensuring the effective delivery of
services to beneficiaries. While reserves
may not be present at present, the
organisation is committed to prudently
managing finances and strategically
building reserves in the future, in line with
best practices and regulatory requirements,
to fortify long-term sustainability and
resilience.

The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)		 Para 1.47 Our charity's primary source of funding
predominantly relies on successful bid
writing initiatives. Over the past reporting
period, a significant portion of our income
has been secured through the diligent
efforts of our team in crafting compelling
grant proposals and funding applications.
This strategic focus on bid writing
underscores our commitment to
diversifying revenue streams and tapping
into external funding opportunities to
support our charitable activities. Through
meticulous research, effective
communication, and strategic partnerships,
we have been able to successfully secure
grants and funding allocations to sustain
and expand our programs. Moving forward,
we remain dedicated to enhancing our bid
writing capabilities, identifying new funding
prospects, and cultivating relationships with
funders to ensure the continued growth
and impact of our charitable endeavours.
