TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Financial review:
During the year, the charity's source of donated income came from Garvestone Charity Trust to repay a previous loan and 2 grants from Breckland Council for support during the pandemic plus one unspecified other, amounting to £35,743 (2020: £600).
Income generated by charitable activities is from fees for the hire of the village hall which were minimal this year with no event income, amounting to £583 (2020: £17,408). Income generated from renewable technologies is set against imported electricity costs.
Expenditure is almost exclusively for charitable activities including the cost of replacements and general running costs. Other expenditure represents interest and capital repayments of the loan from ACRE which is being repaid over eight years.
Total income amounted to £36,351 (2020: £19,538). Expenditure on charitable activities includes depreciation on fixed assets, and net income/expenditure after all costs was £2,251 (2020: (£20,660)).
Plans for the future:
GOING CONCERN
The trustees are satisfied with the year-end financial position of the charity, and that it will have adequate resources to meet its future plans and financial obligations. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Reserves Policy:
Total funds on 31 March 2021 amounted to £812,507 (2020: £810,257). Reserves are largely invested in the charity's fixed assets, but current assets include designated funds in a savings account set aside for repairs and replacements, and general funds to allow for cash flow and contingencies. The balance of the savings account now stands at £4,700.
In preparing this report, the Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2008.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 30/10/2021 and signed on their behalf, by:

Chairman

In the year ending 31[st] March 2011, fixed assets with a written down value of £759,171 relating to the new build village hall in Garvestone were transferred to the charity by the related charity Thuxton & Garvestone Institute. Grant funding received from Big Lottery Fund and Foundation for Sport and the Arts placed restrictions on the use of the grants and the future use of the property. These restrictions are secured by way of legal charges over the land and property in favour of the funding bodies. In the event of a sale of the property there is the potential for certain grant funding to become repayable. The trustees do not consider that any liability to repay grant funding will arise.
