Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | This was reviewed - due to Covid we were unable to host our planned fundraising event. Donations enabled us to keep the yearly projects going. Due to Covid we did not give grants for other projects as we need funds for the future. With Covid restrictions fund raising can not be guarenteed so it was decided to not implement other projects and save enough funds for payment of next years projects in case fund raising is not allowed due to Covid. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | This remains the same as previous years. We need to plan so that we raise approximately £20,000 each year - this is the amount needed to keep our annual maintenance programme going. It is important to keep a float in case of any shortfalls with fundraising. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | This year end held £21,007 in reserve in case we are not able to fund raise next year due to Covid. |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | Regular fundraisers are usually planned for so as no real need for reserves as these are tried and tested events. (this did not happen this financial year) So we need to contingency plan more for the furture |
