CRO'S inc0rn8 in th8 ye8r was £643,604 of which £134,763 was received from voluntary donations. Exp8nditLJre in the year of £150,182 resulted in an overall increase in reserves of £493,422. This increase in reserves is high this year due to the transfer ol cash and tangible assets from the Cave Rescue Organisation (original charity) and this level of increased reserves is not expected annually. CRO received no restricted income in the year and all ol its reserves carried forward are deemed unreslricted. All financial commitments are fully funded. Prlnclpal rlsks and uncertalntles CRO continues to benefit from 8 Strong flow of charitsble donations and remains in a sound financial position to be able to deliver its charitable objectives. In 8ddilion lo publicity from ts mountsin rescue 8oliMties, CRO maintains a public profile by 8tlending community events, hosting visits to its deport, providing talks lo community groups, utilising soaal media responsibly and responding to an appropriate level of media engagement. CRO does not use commercial fund raisers. Any fund-raising activities must first be approved by the Management Committee and no activities are permitted that could in any way intrude on a person's privacy, be persistent, or plaee undue pressure on a person to donate money. Equipment and training costs continue lo be the main expendilure areas. Team members are supported by the peri(>dic Issue of personal protection equipment and other essential kit Items. There are expenses for the continuing programme of maintenance and irnprovemenl work to the team's vehicles and at the team's base, The Depol, Clapham, North Yorkshire. Re$eNes poli¢y Although it is intended that future activities of the charity are to be funded by future income, CRO'S reserves provide a bufler should there be any significant downturn in donations. The Trustees consider it prudent to continue to maintain CRQ'S designated operational reserve, calculated as being 3 years estimated annual costs based on an average of the last 3 years annual costs. At 31st October 2025, the operational reserve was set at £100,000 out of total reserves of £635,043. In addition to the operational reserve, the Trustees have authorised an operational contingency which, at the discretion of the Chair and Treasurer, May be used for the payment of operational expenses arising in exceptional rcumstances. The sum is to be set annually at 10¢/o of the operational reserve and amounted to approximately £10.000 amount a13151 October 2025. The Trustees anticipate significant capital expenditure will be required in the foreseeable future tr) upgrade or replace the team's vehicles. The Trustees recognise the importance of ensuring sufficient funds can be made available for all necessary improvements and upgrades currently being considered by Ihe team and have increased the sum set aside into the designated Asset Replacement Fund to £243,000.
