financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|In 2024 we saw a good rental income
increase from Court House of (7%) in the
2nd full year post the pandemic and our
end of year balance grow by ~£7k (though
some of this was through maintenance
work deferred till 2025). Rental income on
Curtis House improved significantly thanks
to the hard work of the wardens +35% vs
2023. As a result we have managed to
maintain financial stability whilst keeping
rental prices low to encourage lower
income groups to use the facilities (as
stated in our aims).| |Statement explaining the

risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|Income has come back well over the last
three years due to the reengagement with
the community in St Davids itself. Clearly
inflation means expenditures will continue
to increase but we have mitigated several
of these with utility bill fixed rates again.
The upkeep of the court house is always a
risk given the cost required to maintain an
old, listed property
We see far more risk with how many
people struggling and as such low cost
rental facilities such as ours will become a
more important resource for families and
groups.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
