Financial review
The results are set out in detail on pages 13 to 26. The charity retumed net outgoing resources for the year of
£13,780 (2023 - £29,10S) leaving unrestricttsd funds of £56.039 (2023 - £47.351) and restricted funds of
£210.592 (2023 - £233.040}.
In the year 2019 the charity received a legary from the Estate of Eleanor Mulholland. The committee has
designated £30,421 for the purposes of the Charity's objectives. The unrestritted funds are considered to be
essential to provide sufficient fvnds to cover any unforeseen o)sts which may arise and fvlfil legal obligalions of
the charity in the event that CUTrent levels of tncome are not maintained.
The charity uses faalities at 4S9 Ormeau Road. Belfast, BT7 3GR. These are owned by Down and Connor
Diocese who 211ow the charity to use the faCIl￿eS rent free. The management committee estimate that the value
of this donation is appro￿rnately £20,000 per annum.
The management commtttee has assessed the major risks to which the chanty is exposed, and are satisfied that
systems are in place to mrfogate exposure to the major risks.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted fvnds which have not been designated for a specific use should be
maintained at a level equivalent to three to six months expenditure. The management committee considers that
reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a signfficant drop in funrfing, they wll be able to continue the
charity's current activities while consideration is gtven to ways in which additional funds may be rased. This level
of reseNes has been maintained throughout the year.
The management commtttee have assessed the major risks to whith the charity is exposed, and are satisfied
that systems are in pla￿ to mitigate exposure to the major rtsks.
