Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | There has been a weak financial position. Some 20K was frozen in a Barclays account and the parish council have had to financially assist the charity. However, we have reviewed prices of regular hirers, increased rates and introduced Occupational Licences to safeguard the charity and the hirer. This should strengthen the financial position of the charity for the next financial year. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | We need to adopt a policy and build up the reserves. This is because there is not enough held if something went wrong i.e. the boiler failing in the Village Hall. The pre-school would not be able to operate without heating and we would lose our“best” hirer. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | 0 |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | As explained above, the financial position has been weak. We hope to allocate reserves in the next financial year. |
| 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 | We need to build up the reserves. This is because there is not enough held if something went wrong i.e. the boiler failing in the Village Hall. The pre- school would not be able to operate without heating and we would lose our “best” hirer. We need to rely less on the parish council’s finances and ensure hirers are covering the expenses occurred. |

Good Afternoon Becky,
I have reviewed the accounts cash book and have had to make a few minor adjustments.
As I put together the accounts for you, they did not balance. As I looked further, I noticed that your cash book had problems with the yearly totals at the bottom of the receipts pages for Qtr 2 and 4. If you look at the formula on the original, you will notice that the formula did not add all the figures to the bottom of the page. Which took a few minutes to spot.
Once this had been rectified, the accounts balanced.
I have enclosed the rectified cashbook for your information and also the accounts.
The TAR is a little different, as this information is mainly coming from the trustees, and I feel this will need to be filled in as such.
You can download a copy of the 2026 SORP guidance as a PDF to assist you with this
charities-sorp-2026-1
I understand that I did say I wouldn't progress until instructed, but I have completed it for you, as I was under the impression you would like to get this out of the way. I have attached an invoice for the work done.
I trust this meets with your requirements
Thank you in advance, and if you have any questions, please just ask.
Kind Regards
Rob Shaw
