## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|Fortunately we were the receiver of grants<br>from Buckinghamshire Council due to lack<br>of revenue as a result of Covid 19.  If we<br>had not received these grants from the<br>Council it would have been extremely<br>difficult for the Village Hall to have<br>continued.  The grants have been a<br>lifesafer.|

|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**N/A**|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|We unfortunately do not have the luxury of<br>holding reserves we try to ensure that our<br>bank account has sufficient funds to run the<br>Village Hall for at least 3 – 6 months.  Our<br>charges for hire are kept to a minimum to<br>ensure that the venue is of benefit to the<br>majority of the community.  This is a very<br>fine balance but so far we have been<br>successful and the Village Hall is a very<br>central part to the community.|
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24|Our cinema is not currently running at a<br>profit the Trustees and Management<br>Committee have made the decision to run<br>sessions as  often as we can to ensure that<br>the members of the community have the<br>opportunity to socialise.|
