## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 The total income received during 2024
financial position at the end was £24744. Of this £5300 was in large
of the period “corporate” donations for general use
and £10000 as a single grant from the
Lottery Community Fund to be used
specifically for Fairshare contributions
over a two year period.
The total spending was £18178, mainly
for food purchases. £8080 was for
membership of the Fairshare scheme,
which enabled a major source of food
donations.
The net surplus is greater than last year
and is being held to increase the
Coachhouse reserves.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 During 2025 the trustees restated their
policy for holding reserves policy on holding reserves and decided
stating why they are held to attempt to maintain a reserve to allow
continued operation for about three
months.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 The reserve held in the Coachhouse
bank account at the end of 2025 was
£2625.
This amount would support about three
months operation once the “Fairshare”
contribution has been paid for the year.
Details of fund materially in Para 1.24 There are no coachhouse funds in
deficit deficit.
Explanation of any Para 1.23 There is no expectation of the
uncertainties about the coachhouse not continuing.
