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	Covid meant that we were only able to meet for the first six months of the year. Amongst other projects we cleared and replanted the gardens for the Sandycroft Wellbeing Centre, made planters for Astwood in Bloom, and built benches for the Forge Mill museum. We also did odd repairs for people who called in to ask for help. Members also worked on their personal projects and mentored others' projects to improve their skillsand self-esteem.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Our income from subscriptions and donations ended in March so we had a net outflow of £1523.49 over the year leaving us with £6542.85 as at 21st July 2020.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	At the time of this report we have no identifiable reserves. Our outgoings are small and predictable so we will only need a small reserve. It would be good to have enough in reserve to be able to immediately replace or repair a workshop machine but none of them are essential to our operation and none cost more than a few hundred pounds. A reserve of a thousand pounds would be plenty.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£0
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	The charity is small and has not been operating long enough to accumulate a reserve. We will be working to build funds for emergencies and future expansion as soon as Covid allows.

Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	N/A
