| SORP reference |

|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | At the end of the financial year, the charity maintained a stable financial position despite ongoing community demands and limited resources. Income was primarily derived from community donations, membership contributions, fundraising events, and small grants. Expenditure was focused on programme delivery, venue rental, and community support activities. The trustees are satisfied that the charity’s funds have been managed prudently to support its objectives and maintain ongoing operations. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The trustees have adopted a reserves policy to ensure the charity can continue its core activities in the event of unexpected financial challenges or interruptions to income. Reserves are held to provide stability, meet essential running costs such as rent, insurance, and community events, and to safeguard the charity’s ability to respond to urgent community needs. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | 0 |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | The charity currently holds no significant reserves due to the nature of its community-based operations and reliance on donations and grant income. All funds received are allocated directly to ongoing projects and activities. The trustees recognise the importance of building a reserve and intend to develop a strategy to achieve this in the coming year. |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | There were no funds materially in deficit during the financial year. |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | The trustees have assessed the charity’s financial position and believe there are no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue operating as a going concern. While income depends on ongoing |
community support and successful fundraising, the charity continues to receive strong local engagement and remains committed to sustaining its activities through careful financial planning and grant applications
