With the cost of living crisis having such a dramatic affect we registered FYCC as a Warm Space; the introduction of hot soup and a roll, hot drinks in a warm friendly environment proved very successful and may be re-introduced next winter. We have been fortunate enough to have been awarded a number of grants enabling us to meet the needs of our service users and continue many of our projects. Our designated youth service continues to operate three evenings per week for children aged 8-16 years. We are delighted to have been awarded a large grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, safeguarding 5 staff roles for a 3 year period. We have been investigating the possibility of adding an extension to the main building, this will allow us to extend the kitchen footprint and undertake some internal reconfiguration, each element providing the opportunity to increase revenue. Planning permission has now been granted and work is underway to raise the necessary funding for this project; the aim being to help the organisation to become self-funding, ensuring the long term sustainability of the service for the benefit of the local community. ## Financial Information FYCC operates a reserves policy to ensure that running costs and the Centre Manager Salary are safeguarded for at least one year. The building in insured to hold £5000 in cash on site.

The accounts were presented to me in very orderly fashion, with all receipts and payments clearly identified and backed by bank statements and invoices. The details of income were on the balance sheet but required a visit to the Community Centre to verify. The Treasurer was available to answer any queries if required. After sampling two separate months of the accounts in detail and checking all balances against the sheet, as well as asking several questions of the Treasurer and Chair, I am satisfied that these accounts are a true reflection of the finances for the year in question. My suggestions going forward are that the Petty Cash is updated more regularly on Quickbooks and more regular full financial reports are presented to the Centre Committee regarding the current year in progress. I have made these points to the Chair of the Committee and it has been agreed that this will happen. Yours faithfully, John F Irvine B. Ed (Hons), Cert. Ed, Dip Phys.Ed
