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 stronger financial position than last year as we were able to host our yearly fund-raising event this year. We have not sent funds for building projects on this occasion as we need to be confident that life will resume to normal before we can release funds for building projects as we need to ensure we have enough for our ongoing yearly commitments. We are not currently supporting any students as this is a big commitment for the benefit of only a very few. With covid we feel this is not viable currently.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	We need to find approx £15,000 each year 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 £50650 in reserve. We plan to donate part of this towards a building project at a secondary school which is currently in the planning process.
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.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	n/a
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	n/a
