Financial review
Currently the club is in a financially healthy position with reserves significantly above the mimium. The club was in surplus at the end of the reporting period, with a bank balance of £110,318.
The charity’s policy on reserves
Our minimum reserve is £70,000, which is held to ensure that costs, including 3 months’ salary, could be paid if for any reason the club were to fold. Our current reserves are significantly above this, however we have been working to ensure that annual ingoing and outgoing expenditure is more closely matched and there is a plan in place to use our current surplus reserves to invest in new playground equipment for the club and school.
