## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|Finances continue to be in good health,<br>retaining all of our regular groups from<br>last year. We received an annual grant<br>of £8000 from the parish council as<br>well as a donation of £1000 from the<br>Community Church group which holds<br>weekly services in the hall. We were<br>unable to move funds from our current<br>account into our saving account this<br>year, due to the cost of the curtains<br>and fre exit doors. On 29/03/2023 we<br>held £4,970.33 in our current account<br>and £49,679.43 in our savings account.<br>Currently we do not have restricted<br>reserves.|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|A savings account holds contingency<br>funds for large item replacement, in<br>particular the boiler. This year we have<br>spent funds from this account on new<br>curtains throughout the hall, and two<br>new fre exit doors. Our future projects<br>will hopefully include: repainting the<br>hall, installing new front doors, and<br>building an extension to be used to<br>storetables and chairs.|

|* Currently we are paying over the odds for our energy supply.  A Refund was made in August of £907.26 but then they<br>continued to overcharge us again.|||||



## **Saving Account** 

19 April 2024 - £49,679.43 

## **Future** 

Although we have a healthy balance in our saving account, an average net income of £63 a month is not a very healthy state of affairs, especially if a couple of Sharley Park groups decide to leave us . The overcharging by our energy supplier requires immediate attention; hopefully we can recoup some of the excessive charges.
