identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 The financial position at the end of the
period was extremely healthy with
£90,828held in the bank. There was
greater expenditure than usual during
this financial period due to essential work
being carried out within the centre to
keep it compliant with food and hygiene
regulations and major building works to
keep the premises operational.
Successful grant applications as well as
contributions from National Lottery funds
have helped a great deal with the
additional expenditure during this
financial period.

policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The Charity should hold in reserve,
sufficient funds to support its
commitments (rent, utilities etc) for at
