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	The Hall has been made available throughout the whole year despite the installation of new double-glazed windows and doors. This was the major improvement for the benefit of all hall users and to encourage greater use. It was achieved through delivery of a licence to allow the contractors to use a small amount of car parking space. The Hall also successfully took on a new Administrative Assistant as the previous post-holder moved away. The Caretaker’s agreement was terminated as the benefit was insufficient to justify the cost. Meanwhile there was a steady increase in the variety of regular user groups, and of one-off bookings for both private and public group activities, all providing improved public benefit to a wider community of Hall users.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The Charity’s financial assets were improved during this period which was a year of consolidation. Regular income continued to perform well with a comfortable excess over regular expenditure, which was reduced by giving up the part-time services of a Caretaker. The only major one-off cost was for essential tree work, and the overall financial position at the end of the year remained strong.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The Charity holds sufficient cash funds in reserve to deal with emergencies, and to sustain the Charity for up to two years should the hall have to close for major repair works.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£20,000
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Not applicable
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	None
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	Routine income continues to exceed routine expenditure with sufficient excess to cover regular minor improvements. The Charity is expected to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
