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.
