Financial Review
Th¢ hire of rooms for meetings, classes and training continued at a satisfactory level. The first full year of operation
)E the cafe helped produce an incr¢&sed revenue for the Community Centr¢ of £140,399. This growth did nol
eliminat¢ the small deficit of £7.566 for the year. Money was drawn from reserves to cover this deficit.
Maint¢nan¢e and repairs exce¢ded budget, but a grant was received which covered the cost of replacing two
commercial microwaves and helped towards the cost of a replacement dishwasher in the cafe. Much of ihe interior
ol-the Community Centre was redecorated by volunl¢ers.
Principal Funding Sources:
The main Income streams are room hire and the Cafe. with Solar panel, investment revenue and other fund-raising
oniribLEting to the well_being of the Centre. We are grateful for the continuing support from Deal Town Council
for the Get-Together Club.
Reserves Policy

organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed

fluctuations in the levels of funding and to have sufficient liquidity to meet short tem) liabilities.
an optimum reserves level of nine months, running costs to ensure that any services and projects undertaken can
bc 5UStain¢d for a rca50nablc tim¢.
it-at any time the Treasurer has cause to believe that the policy will be breached, then il will be reported at the next
Board of Trustees, meeling and corrective action agreed.
Plans for Future Periods
