Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of health or saving of lives.
Achievements and performance
Last year can be labelled a success as the club continued to operate against tough trading conditions which show no signs of going away. Such an incredible achievement purely through the hard work of our volunteers and the engagement of the local community who continue to support the club. A small group of volunteers and trustees undertook an energy improvement project identifying how we can reduce our energy costs and then putting a plan in place for how we go about doing that. Thankfully we were also presented with the opportunity to replace the clubs existing heating system with a new energy efficient system and this was done in part by a £4000 donation from the foundation along with match funding from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. The cost of living crisis continues to affect how frequent the community use the facilities of the club. Attendance figures are slightly down on the prior year and the outlook is clear in so far as the larger events and social gatherings are helping the club retain it's viability which in turn then allows us to continue to deliver on our charitable objectives.
Financial review
The net outgoing resources for the year were £4,315.00 including net outgoing resources of £4,315.00 on unrestricted funds and net incoming resources of £0 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £917.
The trustees do not have a reserves policy.
