|Review ofthe charity's<br>financial<br>position at the end<br>ofthe period||||Para 1.21|We began the year with cash ofE55k and<br>ended<br>it with 268k. This was supported<br>by<br>a combination<br>ofgood take up, high levels<br>offunding<br>through<br>the Childcare<br>Offer for|

||||||main sources of income. Abruptly<br>stopping<br>our services would be difficult for families|
||||||and very disruptive<br>to the children<br>in our|
||||||care.|
