invited adults/children to collect a
Christmas gift. The Christmas fair was held

school with many community members
attending with their families to enjoy

children and adults who cannot afford gifts
at Christmas.

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
£3911 and we owe Pioneer Educational
Trust £524.
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."

policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The reserves policy for our charity aims to
ensure financial stability and sustainability.
It is designed to provide a safety net for
unforeseen financial challenges, support
strategic opportunities and maintain
operational continuity. For the purposes of
Pioneer Family Partnership, this equates to
two months’ runningcosts.
