Financial
Risk Management
The
financial risks to the organisation are reviewed at the Annual General Meeting
and at Board Meetings held through out the period. As in previous years, we are fortunate to receive
financial support from more than one statutory investor, in addition to the
unrestricted income resulting from the initiative and skills of our staff. The
subsidiary company apas trading Ltd gifts all of its financial surpluses
to the parent charity by deed of covenant. Further income is received from donations by
individuals who have benefited from our services, from various grant giving
bodies and from sales of books and other publications. The Gift Aid scheme is
promoted so that additional funds can be gathered from donations from UK Tax
payers.
Reserves
Policy
The reserves policy is to aim to cover a minimum of three months’ costs in order to meet unexpected demands, a delay in receiving funding and to give breathing space should there be any unfavourable change to government policy. Our budgetary control system allows us to monitor our financial well being on a monthly basis.
Fundraising
Report
Once
again this year we have been successful with many applications for one off grant
and donations. The number of donations from service users has
continued to increase and the Gift Aid Scheme continues to produce extra income
from donors who are UK taxpayers. Our subsidiary company, apas Trading, has once
again generated many thousands of pounds for the parent charity, these funds are
unrestricted and can be used on services and initiatives to support our mission
wherever the organisation sees fit. We have also opened a second-hand bookshop, which compliments the range of new, specialist books that we sell from Park Row. Acknowledgements
