## **Treasurer’s Report for the period** 

## **01/04/2024 To 31/03/2025** 

# **Charity name: Bushmead Community Centre** 

## **Review of the charity’s fnancial position at the end of** 

## **the period** 

## **Financial position.** 

The Trustees have had another year of keeping a careful eye on our financial position. 

At the start of the period, it was decided that in view of the state of the economy, most of the hire charges would not be increased to assist all the users of our facilities. 

This resulted in a small overall profit of £3162. However, this is slightly misleading as we have some activities that we oversee and their funds are held separately to those of the Community Centre. 

These restricted funds showed a profit of £4,463 with the Centre’s activities showing a small loss of £1,301 for the year. This results in the overall profit of £3,162. 

The Trustees agreed that the hire rates would be increased from April and  this was held at 2.5% in most cases. 

The Centre’s unrestricted funds stand at £5,631 and the Restricted funds at £16,508. 

## **Reserves.** 

During the year, the Trustees were able to increase the Reserves by £20,000 and they now stand at £46,315. It is the intention of the Trustees to increase the reserves when possible to provide for future unseen eventualities. 

## **A description of the principal risks facing the charity** 

The Trustees are all volunteers who give their time freely. To replace a retiring Trustee can be quite difficult and we are always looking for additional Trustees to help spread the work load. 

The charity is aware of the need to accumulate sufficient reserves to cope with possible show stopping events, such as replacing the guttering and roof tiles. We are aware that the flooring in the Bradgers Room requires attention and possible replacement to keep people safe from trip hazards as the surface is breaking up. 



The Trustees are aware that they are providing a service to the local community but it is necessary to cover increasing costs whilst being cognitive of the pressures facing our hirers and the local community.
