financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The number of events bounced back
strongly in 2021 as the impact of pandemic
was reduced. Expense reduced in one off
purchases compared to 2020, but
increased in areas such as volunteer
expenses, and first aid equipment. This
was expected as they are directly linked to
the number of events covered. Corporate
donations were significantly reduced, partly
as more funding was given to causes
relating directly to COVID. General
donations from the public held up well,
even though we did not do any
demonstration events. The charity remains
on a strong financial footing, tightly
controlling expenses and with expected
increase in events for 2022 it should the
strongest year so far.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The aim will be to hold a minimum of
£4,000 in the bank to cover insurance,
vehicle costs and first aid requirements.
The current balance in the bank is much
higher as the Charity looks to add another
vehicle and increase its capacity to cover
more events. With an additional vehicle,
increased insurance expenses and a
general raise in cost, the reserve is to be
increase from £2,500 to £4,000.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£4,000| |Reasons for holding zero
