Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 During the year 1/6/21 - 31/5/22 the
financial position at the charity had income of £50,619 and
end of the period expenses of £49,342. This resulted in
a surplus for the year of £1,276.
The club had provided discounted
subscription prices in order to ‘return’
some of the unintentional surplus
generated during the prior year due
to Covid-19. However, due to the
increase in members along with gift
aid claims made and received, the
club once again generated a (small)
surplus. This has been reinvested
back into the club outside of the
period of this report.
Statement explaining Para 1.22 The club hold an appropriate level of
the policy for holding cash reserves to manage fluctuations
reserves stating why in income and expenditure between
they are held years which can result from changes
in the numbers of registered players
through to external factors such as
legislation. The reserve enables us to
withstand any unforeseen
circumstances and support families
suffering financial hardship to
continue playing football, whilst
retaining our wish and ability to invest
in our facilities for future years.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 As at 31 [st] May 2022 the charity held
cash reserves of £53,865.
