Review of the the charity's charity's charity's Para 1.21 The financial
position at the end of the
financial position at the end period shows
it is in a very good position.		 In
ofthe period fact, the figure carried forward
is over
double the figure brought
forward from the
previous
financial year. This has been
purely
down to receiving Business Support
Grants that we were entitled to during
the
pandemic
due to the fact that we own our
own premises.
Due to this our income is
F11kmore than the previous year and due
to us not being active for the majority ofthe
period because ofCovid our expenditure
was reduced
by almost E6k on the previous
year. The band Committee
took the
decision to take use the time available
whilst the band room was not being used to
carry out essential
maintenance
to the
band room which is our biggest asset. The
Committee
also felt that as our Musical
Director was the key instigator of all our
lockdown
activities to ensure
all members
continued
to be supported,
itwas felt that
we continue to pay his fees and expenses.
This has proved to be a successful
move
as coming out of lockdown the band is in
much better place, musically
and mentally
than man
