Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 A year into the Covid-19 pandemic and
financial position at the end our finances have reflected this. With
of the period falling attendance due to covid and
lockdowns our subs payments are
down. Our physical fundraising efforts
have been almost non-existent and
grants have been harder to achieve due
to a lot of resources going to covid
related causes.
At the end of this period our current
balance was £631.18
We also had reserves of £10,045.36,
however majority of this is earmarked
for the purchase of a disability boat that
we have received grant support for.
