FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Room hire has continued to be effected by the change in working Conditions and red￿ed fimding for other charities. We
are actively engaging with the community to promote the space, but in the Cu￿nt clitilate. small ckwities and social
groups are under severe flnancial pressure.
Optalis Ltd further reduced their room hire in December 2023 which resulted in a huge financial loss, making their total
hire to only IOO/o of our total income. They then gave notice to terminate their occupancy from 31 March 2024.
We fmished the year with an un￿strICted deficit of £22,921wthich is satisfactory in the circumstances and within our
budget.
Referring to the Neighbourhood Learning Centre restricted funds are set out in note 12.
Referring to the Crescent restricted funds, The Earley CEMrity continued to fund the Association Managees employment
and pension costs . After deducting amortisation of £19.308 there was a nominal building fund surplus 01£660,145
In all, The Earley Charitgs grants amounting to £70,822 and £39,178 were of vital importance in eDabling us to provide
our services to Earley and the neighbourhood. The directors are most appreciative of these major contribution to our
success.
Future Prospe¢t$
The reductionlcessation of halvoffice hire of Optalis Ltd has made a huge impact on our income. Although we are
actively engaging with our community to promote the space, this is incredil)ly difficult as n￿lY other charities and social
groups are under severe financial pressure. The Earley Charity has now taken over an office space which replenishes the
income lost by Optalis Ltd. However, we are ￿rrentlY 210/0 down on last year.
Regarding the Neighbourhood Learning Centre, tbe b&sic Earley Charity grani of £70,822 an increase from £61.000.
However, there will be increased costs this year leading to a prospective deficit of some £16,000 which can be covered
from our Training reserves
One area in which we are experiencing an increasing demand is for courses on basic and follow-up English. This is for
the benefit of an increasing number of Chinese in]migrants from Hong Kong, and re￿eeS from Afghanistan and
Ukraine. Every effort is being made to offer our services to these people including attendance to support groups and
other partsler organisations. The courses are provided free of charge and fill￿ed out of the Earley Clwity grant.
Reserves Policy
The Policy is b￿d on the difft￿nCe between the current assets and current liabilities (i.e. working capital) as
appearing in the Balance Sheet at the eud of the financial year as detailed below.
Crescent Resource Centre (Ullrestrieted Funds)
To maintain a surplus of current assets over current liabilities (i.e., working capital) of £40,￿0 in respect of unrestricted
fuDds.This figure is equal to approxilljately four months normal total turnover and is considered the appropriate level in
view of the fact that much of the Association's income is in the forni of grdnts which ll￿y be lor limited periods of time.
The reserve is intended to provide working capital for the nonnal day-to-day wod(ing of the Associatio￿ and in
addition, to give the Assoctation time, ill the event of the c¢ssation of a major source of income, for ali¢rnativ¢ sources
to be sougbt without damaging. in the short ternL the functions of the Association.
As of 3 1st March 2024, the reserve amounted to £145,599 including the balance of the Projects Fun(L
Neighbourhood Learning Centre (Restricted Funds)
To maintain a surplus of current assets over current liabilities {i.e. worlang capital) of £75,000. In planning ahead of a
new academic year, commitments have to be made for that year in respect of room and hall bookings, employnent of
tutors and other factors. It is therefore considered necessary to have funds available to honour these commitments for the
year ahead and the reserve is intended to provide such funds in the event of the cessation of grant fimding on which the
NLC is reliant.
