Referrals Now that the open access and gil'ls, work sessions have become more established. alongside self-i'efeii'als to the sessions, the team are also startlng to see ref¢ri'als coming in from Islington's wider seivices, including Schools, refugee and Asylum teams and Eai'ly Help, which is really pleasing. Future Plans As part of ongoing efforts to establish good links with the local catchment schools we will be attending Highbuiy Fields Girls, School to suppoit them with their PsF (Peisonal. Social, Health and Economi¢) education and Enrichmentcurriculum. This activity will allow us to achieve ourconts'a¢tual obligations forthe SIS programme, while providing an excellent vehicle for pi-omoting the targeted and open access s¢ssions at HRH, thus helping to incl'ease our membership. In response to requests from young people to provide more $poits-based activities we are currently in the pj'ocess of reci'uiting a sports worker who will be responsible for developing our spoits and wider health and well-being offei. aci'oss the youth sessions. One of the many ways that we woi'k with local people is to assist usei's to provide a range of sej'vices and activities that are of interest to local people. This can be dance projects, karate, pilates and special interest groups. The organisation hires out its facilities, at reduced rates to assist groups. We often use core income streams and fundi'alsing to subsidise these gi'oups. we.are always looking for ways to increase oui, user gi'oups and happy to explore new ideas and projects tliat will benefit local people, FINANCIAL REVtEW The yeai. ended 31 Mai'ch 2024 was a successful one, mai'king the fii8t full financlal year of delivei'ing sej'vices from oui. new building. This section of the repoit focuses on financial matters and the organisation's financial perfoi'mance. In summary, the oi'ganisation managed to produce and maintain a balanced budget while achieving some growth. The financial performance for the year i-esulted in a surplus of £36,816 (2023: £33,871). This Consisted of a surplus on unrestricted funds of £56,308 (2023: £35,030) and a deficit on restricted ndS of £(19,492) (2023.. £(1,159). Princi al Fundin Sources and Income Generation The oi'ganisation's income foi. th¢ year inci'eased to £1,035,141 (2023: £888.071). Inoome from fees & chai'ges in¢iEased to £A59,311 (2023,. £449,501), Iiicome from lettings increased to £136,838 (2023.. £32,891). The income i5 expected to continu¢ to gl'ow as we work with more paitners in our new community biiilding. Tlie organisation i'eceived £365,708 (2023: £31 J,030) from Islington Council to deliver pi'oj¢¢ts under SeA¢e Level Agreements. Income from resti'icted funds decreased slightly to £765,148 (2023: £771,155), while expenditiire increased to £784,640 (2023: £772,314). This resulted in a net outflow in iEstricted funds foi. the year of £(19,492) (2023.. £(1,159). The main reasons for the change in restricted fiinds are the increase in sei'vice costs, depreciation charged on the new building and the numbei. of projects delivei'ed. Details of the movement in rests'icted funds can be found in Note 13 of the financial statenients. There was an incitase in intei'est received to £654 (2023: £48
HIGHBURY ROUNDHOUSE ASSOCIATION LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMLTED BY GUARAIYTEE) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEI ES YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 The organisation has completed a budget for 202412025, which indicates a balanced budget for the yeai.. Investment Polic The organisatioii continues to be prudent in the way it manages its funds and all casli is held in, on-demand deposit accounts. Fundraisin The trustees have reviewed the fvndraising ai'rangements and the revised budget foi. 202412025 and considel'ed the return on fundi'aising costs. Fundi'aising Costs foi, the year under A'eview was £19.414 (2023., £17,948). The increase in fiindi'aising costs was due to the fundi'aising for the final stage of the new building. The inci'ease dui'ing the year has been consideiEd against the oi'ganisation's fundraising plan and is consideied to be appropriate. The organisation Continues with its policy of ath'acting funds from different soui'ces. The organisation's revised budget for 202412025 has indi¢at¢d that additional funds will be requiitd to sustain sevei'al.projects and meet the JEpayments of the social investment loaiis. The trust¢es have considei'ed the budget and indicate that it is achievable. sh Reseives Polic and Goin Concein The trustees al'e of the view that the organisation should maintain a certain level of cash reserves to pi'otect against drops in income and to take advantage of any new opportunities that may arise. Their is no specific legal i'equijement to maintain a defined amount of ¢ash I'eseives (although three months of opei'ating expeiises is often quoted). The cash reserve policy specifies an appropi'iate minimum amount of cash reserves to be held. If the cash reserve level is set too high, it can make fundraising more difficiilt as it may appear that Highbury Roundhoiise (HRH) is hoarding cash so is not focused on front line service delivery. Conversely, setting the minimum cash I'eseive level too low may mal<e HRH look vulnerable or appeal. that HRH is suffering from pool. financial Inanageineiit and conti'ol. The cash reserve policy requii'es that a sej'ies of ti'igger levels are set, based on one month of core expenditure plus a redundancy reserve as follows: Green: cash i'eseiwes higher than 3 months of coir expenditure plus redundancy reserve Amber: cash i'esei'ves are between I month of core expenditui'e plus A'edundancy i'eserve and 3 months of core expenditiii'e plus iEdundancy reserve Red.. cash i.eSeeS are below I montli of core expenditui'e plus i'eduiidancy Jrsei've. Each ti'iggei, level I'equires a diffei'ent set of i'esponses as follows..
