Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 The main source of funds throughout
financial position at the end the year has been gifts and donations
of the period and these have been sufficient to meet
any outgoings the charity has had
throughout the year. All the funds held
currently are unrestricted.
The increase in income has come from sales at
The Fishermen’s Rest, selling refreshments to
a mixture of local people inc. fishermen &
visitors alike.
As these activities grow, there will be a
need for the charity to review its policy
on holding reserves.
All sailing activities have been cut back due to
the need of funds to maintain & upgrade a
sailing vessel we have use of. We hope this
will change shortly.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 No reserves are currently held.

stating why they are held
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 0
Reasons for holding zero Para 1.22 The wages of those in charge of The

activity along with the cost of supplies. We
are frugal with any other expenses.
