FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The company is working towards setting up a contingency fund, if funding allows, to cover 6 months running costs. The current targeted reserves is therefore £109,772.
Free reserves have been used over this financial period to fund essential core staff salaries and running costs, however, at the end of the year free reserves showed a balance of £134,164 (2024: £118,328) which is in excess of this target.
The trustees will continue monitoring costs and attempt to increase core hall hire income together with attempting to identify further sources of funding for the future and increase free reserves to the targeted level.
Principal financial management policies
All finances are recorded using the QuickBooks Accounting package & Sage Payroll.
All expenditure over £100 must be passed by the committee.
All cheques must have 2 signatures of 3 people designated by the Management Committee.
Funds in deficit
There are no funds materially in deficit.
Going Concern
The Charity has secured a Service Level Agreement up until the 31st March 2027 and the Charity would like to thank Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council for their continued support.
The Charity has also secured funding for various project throughout the year and has also increased hire costs and maintained current users, while securing new users.
As a result, these accounts will be prepared on a going concern basis.
