Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The charity’s only expenditure during the period were banking charges, for which there were ample funds. With net expenditure during the period of £56.11, the charity was £1,903.19 in credit at the end of the period, more than sufficient to cover any imminent costs. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Our policy is not to keep a reserve of any significant amount, but to raise sufficient funds every two years to stage the LICCC event. The only reserve we keep is a small amount to ensure our extremely limited ongoing costs (mainly our bank account) are covered over the two-year period between events. Our policy with that amount is to leave it in the current account. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | Minimum of £200.00 |
