taught about how to look after

Para 1.21
The trustees consider the financial
position of the charity at 30th
Septembor 2024, and its financial
performance during the year, to be
satisfactory. They consider that the
charity is in a strong position to
continue its activities during the
coming year and beyond if
expenditure is managed in line with
income. The year saw a surplus of
£56,251. The board of trustees is
satisfied that the charity's assets in
each fund are available and adequate
to fulfil its obligations in respect of
each fund.
We aim to hold sufficient financial
reserves to sustain the pre-school if
our income falls below expected
levels. Some of these reserves were
used over the COVID pandemic and
show the importance of holding
sufficient reserves. Our intention
would be to continue functioning as a
preschool if possible and cover the
payment of staff redundancies in the
unlikely event that the preschool had
