Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | For much of the period the Old School was closed to local groups and organisations due to government lockdown restrictions. From February 2021 the Old School has been used as a Covid Vaccination Centre. (This role has continued to date, Dec 2021. Around 30,00 vaccinations have been dispensed, most of the recipients being local people. With the easing of restrictions our local groups and organisation re-started in September 2021, on “non-vaccination days” and this arrangement has been working well for the last couple of months.) |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The charity is in a very good financial position at the end of the period. This is due to receipt of government grants of £21,300.85 relating to enforced closure of the Old School due to Covid. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The charity does not hold formal reserves for specific purposes. However, we do aim to keep sufficient funds available to continue maintaining the building and garden for up to 18 months without income. We also keep the state of the building under review and plan ahead for items like boiler replacement and roof repairs / maintenance. |
| Amount of reservesheld | Para 1.22 | £0 |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | See above |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | None |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | Covid is still a major concern and closure would reduce our primary income to zero. However, to date this has been countered by government support and use of the Old School as a Vaccination Centre. |
