Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Since taking on responsibility for The Settlement, the charity has increased the number of activities to the benefit of the local community. Through grant funding and some of our own funds we have been converting our cellar into a ManShed, which will be somewhere for men to mix with each other and hopefully be able to open up about problems. Obviously, our activities have been seriously curtailed by Covid-19 pandemic and we are concerned about the reduction in our income. |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The charity has two principal sources of income – rental income from letting available space and grants received from trust funds that support the charity’s work. The rental income from the office accommodation has been significantly affected by the Covid-19 lockdown and we will hope to recover this at some point. One small unit is now vacant. Income from room hire has similarly been reduced and only some activities had restarted by the end of the year. We have only received a small amount of project specific funding. We hope that things will get back to normal next year. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The charity’s reserves policy is to hold reserves equal to six months of operating costs. This reserves policy has been met in the year. |
