Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Cash at bank at 31/08/2021 was 32K in

the end of the period. Due to the pandemic it
was difficult to fundraise in 2021 and the
costs to stage the event increased. However,
retaining the main sponsor for the event from
2020 (no event held) gave SWP the financial
stability going into 2021.
