Financial Review

Para 1.21 | The charity is in a strong financial position at year end with a surplus for the year of £4,565.97 leaving reserves of £15,831.33. The surplus was largely due to a large one- off sponsorship payment that will not be repeated next year. Expenditure was again predominantly focused on improving facilities. |
|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Our policy is to hold enough reserves for the club to function for 2-3 years without any income. Currently our reserves equate to approximately three times the value of the unavoidable expenditure of the club (Sports Club Fees, League Fees, Match Balls, Insurance, Umpires), which is an acceptable position for the Trustees. |
