Financial Review: CHAP46E THE YOUTH Nc*fH WÈST As of 30 June 2024, Change the Youth NW has maintained a stable financial position, with a Closing balance of £390 in unrestricted funds. However, it is important to note that the charity has faced challenges in securing sufficient grants during this period, which has impacted our overall funding levels. Policy for Holding Reserves: The charity aims to maintan a minimum of £500 in unrestricted reseNes to support cash flow and contingency planning. As this is our first accounting period, we are building toward this taroet in 2024-2025. Amount of Reserves Held: At the end ol the financial period, the charity held £390 in unrestricted reserves, which is sliohtly below our target of £500. The lower reserve amount is partly due to the limited grant funding received during the period, which has meant we relied more heavily on donations and fundraising activities to cover operational costs. Reasons for Holding Low Reserves: While the charity has not yet reached its desired reserve target, this shortfall is due to the relatively low amount of grant funding secured, totalling £1,599 for the period. We have also made significant investments in key programs such as residential trips and youth engagement, reducing the amount available for reserves. Going Concern: The trustees have reviewed the charity's financial position and are confident that Change the Youth NW remains a going concern. Although grant funding was lower than anticipated, we continued to operate successfully with support from donations and fundraising. Moving forward, we aim to increase our funding base through grant applications, ￿ndraisIng, and new partnerships. Change The Youth Nw changetheyouthnw.org.uk [e-mail]
