The forecast for the 2025/26 financial year is that the Charter Trustees of Poole will underspend against the budget set. This is due to spend to date and planned activity for the rest of the year being lower than originally envisaged. The forecast underspend for the year is £24,015.

The Responsible Financial Officer, Matt Filmer, provided a financial update. Trustees were informed that, as of the end of September 2025, the Charter Trustees were forecast to underspend against the budget set. This was due to the level of spending to date and the planned activity for the rest of the year being lower than originally envisaged.

The forecast underspend for the year was £24,015, which would result in a closing position of £89,452 in reserves.

The AGAR, submitted earlier in the year, had since been externally audited and given a clean bill of health. Relevant documents would be uploaded to the website in the coming days.
