Review of 2024 Finances Along with the challenging economic climate that we are all f inding ourselves in, generating Vltal f undraisin9 income to continue the amazing work we do is presenting to be very challenging. As we were only awarded charity status in April 2021, applying f or f undraising 9rants is still a relatively new area to us, however, we have expanded in this area and increased our corporate support over the last 12 months and have had a few successes includin9 a 3-year grant being awarded to us by Robertson Trust. They have awarded us £IO.OCQ each year f or 3 years and our third instalment was awarded in September 2024. Robertson Trust also awarded US £10,000 towards a new van f or our soup kitchen and to allow us to pick up and delivery furniture to those that need help settin9 up in their temporary or permanent accommodation after being homeless f or a f ew years. This area of f undraising and creating partnerships with local businesses will help us greatly to generate more f inancial funds going forward it IS an area, we are committed to continue to put our time into to hopefully generate more successes 90in9 f orward. We have been looking at our accounts and we are averaging monthly f inancial donations, including f undraiSin9 activities. of £13765 per month which covers our average monthly expenses of £13170, theref ore, we feel going f orward that we are in a healthy Position, to not only continue to provide our current services to our street f riends, but to expand our ideos so we can reach out to help more of the vulnerable people of Glas9ow. There has been a substantial increase in our monthly expenditure since last accounting year but our demand f or f ood parcels has tripled and we had set up costs f or the new Cadder Hub f acility as well. Our bank account is quite healthy as at 31/12/24 we had a closin9 balance of £143.171.09 and our reserve account is sitting at £40,289.43 includin9 interest. we added £14575.60 in August 2024 thus givin9 US a total balance in our reserve account of £40,289.43 and a total of both accounts of £183,460.52. We also upgraded one of our charity vehicles and purchased another charity vehicle, a soup kitchen/delivery van, total of both being £14,980.39 within this accounting period which has allowed US to help more people setup home by delivering f urniture to them, delivering food parcels to more areas and we now also have this Other vehicle as an asset f or our charity.
We have looked at our average expenditure to run our charity each month and the average monthly amount we spend is £13,170. We have therefore increosed our reserve account to £40.000 which covers 3 months reserves, in line with OSCR 9uidance. This will only be used during any time that we f eel we have lack of f inancial donations to help us meet the demands of our expenditure in any one month. This reserve account will be linked to our moin bank account so that we can access it quickly if it ever becomes necessary to transfer f unds to help us meet our outgoin9 in any one month.
