Chari
's Poli
on Reserves
The Charity's current resetves policy is to maintain sutricient eash flow for known
commitments, be they for religious services, site operating costs. site maintenance and
upgrades. Despite ihe unprecedented Lockdown restrictions faced in 2020 (and subsequently).
and the consequent reduction in Saftgat congregation visitor numbers. the Trustees hav¢
continued to invest in Sunday services throughout the year and used fund-raising campaigns
to support additional invesiments in building improvements.
Financial Review
The main source of funds are the donations from the Sadh Sangat and remains positive and
responsive. We thank the Sikh community for their continued financial support that has
allowed the progressive reduction of outstanding loans. substantially ahead of lender
requirements. Overall income to the Gurdwara now exceeds pre-pandemic levels and has
allowed the trustees to expand religious events and services, upgrade facilities and further
reduce outstsnding loans.
Investments
The trustees. investmeni powers are governed by the Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
Future Plan
The Gurdwara building h&5 been operational from 2010112013 and the forward development
of more extensive community activities and facilities 15 under discussion with the Sangat
(con8regation). Previous successful grant applications for site improvements were Completed
in 2021. made p)ssible by an associated fund-raising campaign undertaken by the Gurdwara
and Cambridge University Sikh students. Further 5mall_grant applications have been made
including a successful Cl￿0 match_funding programme. Improvements io internal facilities,
including electrical works (completed) and resid¢n¢¢ areas (building approvals Secured) are
ongoing. Future building developments are now being considered based on a wTrsilive
financial position. with in¢ome now exceeding P￿-pandem1c levels.
Risks
The Board examines the major risks that the charity faces each year when preparing and
updating the strategic plan. The charity has developed systems to monitor and control these
risks to rnitigaie any impact they may have on the charity in the future. This has been critical
in this second year of COVID-19 disruption where we have maintained religious services to
the maximum level possible. whilst also investing in building improvements by fund-raising
and grant application. enabling reserves to be maintained at nornial levels.
Results
The results for the year, th¢ financial position of the Company and the iran5fer of funds are
shown in the annexed accounts.
