Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | We have kept our subscription costs the same as our previous year to support our families in a difficult financial climate, and have been able to do this as from previously built-up cash reserves. We are a non-profit making organisation and feel we have a duty to support our teams/families. We do also continue to have a hardship fund supporting those in need. Following a deficit in our previous annual return, we have in the current year made a small deficit of £1,634. The deficit being predominantly due to subscription collection which was based on individual teams collecting from parents and passing through to the club. We have now moved to an online club app which amongst other things collects subscriptions on a monthly direct debit basis. We are anticipating increased revenue and cash assets within the next financialperiod. |
