Barnardos in Ireland increases income
Howard Lake | 7 September 2010 | News
Irish charity Barnardos saw its fundraising income grow by 6% in 2009, according to its latest annual report.
Barnardos is financed by a mix of statutory and voluntary funding. In 2009 it raised a total income of €26.1m, an increase of 7% on the previous year.
The income was generated through various channels. 62% was statutory funding, primarily allocated through the Health Service Executive; and the remainder was raised through fundraising activity.
In 2009 fundraising income generated €5.4 million, a growth of 6% on the previous year. Barnardos continued to receive significant support from Atlantic Philanthropies and The One Foundation.
Donations accounted for 21.2% of fundraising income, shops 4.4% and trusts and foundations 11.4%.
Voluntary income was €8.5 million while income from trading activities was €1.15 million. The accounts show, however, that trading expenditure was more than income for the second year running.
