TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Flnanclal revl•w
The majority of the Association's income dunng the year contlnued to come from NHS Hlghland through th8 SeNice
Level Agreement together with additional outreach funding.
Additional support was received from grant funders and community 8UPPOrters induding The Robertson Trust.
Highland Third Sertor Interface, NFU Scotland, Rabbie's Tours, Portree Ct>op and Highland Cross.
The trustees continue to monitor expenditure carefully in responso to incrgasing opgrational costs, particularly ftjd,
heating and food costs. Despite these pressures the Association remained wlhin budget during the year under
R8seThes policy
Thg compony aims to relain 30% of its lolal annual expenditure a$ unrestriclad undesignaled reserves which would
be around £47,250. The trustees consider this necessary in order to provide financial Stabilty ond allow the
organisalion lime to respond lo any fvture reductions or interruptions in funding.
The unreslricted undeSi￿al8d r8s8rve$ al the 31 Marth 2026 was £80.155 (2025 £53.4861 and theTgfore the
chanty are meeting their rosarv8 pc4icy.
The trustoe8' have also set aside £10,000 for Planned Maintenance and Improvements, this decision rewnised
that items such as laptops, phones. washing machines, boilers etc have a limited lifespan.
Reserves are reviewed regularfy by the Board as part of ongoing finarrial monitoring procedures.
Princip81 funding sounes
The majority of our inwne in the year under review wa$ from NHS Highland, through a service delivery contracl for
the ￿re service and pa￿ents for outreach support. This was supplemented by grants from the Robertson Trust
who aw8rded u¥ o three year grant of £20.000 per year.
Investmenl policy
As expected. low interest rates meant that income from Investment was very small in the year under review. This
8ilualion appears Ilkety to continue and fvture budgets are being prepared on this assumption.
The Memorandum and Artides of Associatic*n place no restrictions upon the investment powers of the trustees. All
funds not likety to be required in the next month are placed in 8 30 day deposit account at the COTnpany's usual
bankers.
