Financial Review Review of the chaiitys finanaal position at the end of the period P•121 Our financial position is stronger than in previous years, but we are coritinuing to monitor the situation and plan for future events. Increased budget forecasting by the comrnrttee has helped us to allevk21e some concèrns and help us to plan for the future. Our landk)rds. the Iccal aLrthority, continue to reduce the Maintenan they will provide and aslhe trmjikling is ageing, we have to hold a budget for repairs and maintenan as the Thjorin and dratiOn. We have had a small reserve for a number of years to help us over difficult times. We are trying to IreaSe this in line with financAal advKe. to ensure that should the ' worst happen we have to dose.
