Financial Review
Review of the charity's
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21
The charity maintains a reasonably healthy
financial position. despite experiencing a
significant loss of £5800 over the period
covered, which was primarily incurred due to
. £7000 of unavoidable maintenance costs
to our bandroom, which saw costs rise by c.
£5000 com
ared to the
revious
ear.
Emley Brass Band has some obligations as
a result of, for example, owning the band
room, which would need to be covered if it
was wound up. A minimum level of reserves
of £1,500 has been agreed to cover these
costs.
