|Review ofthe charity's<br>Rnancial<br>position at the <br>ofthe period||||end|Pere 1.21|The charity generated<br>a positive<br>financial outcome for the pedod with a<br>net Increase In funds off5540 and|
|||||||closing with a bank balance of843121.|
|||||||Much ofthe Income was generated<br>by<br>donations,<br>with major donations<br>from|
|||||||Spencer Junior Hockey Club and The<br>Thomas's<br>Foundation,<br>the latter to|
|||||||cover coaching costs. Itwas also|
|||||||successful<br>in obtaining<br>grants from|
|||||||Wandsworth<br>Council, Little Lives|
|||||||Charity.|
|||||||The principal sources offunding<br>forthe|
|||||||charity were donations<br>and fundralslng|
|||||||activities, made possible through<br>its<br>close association<br>with Spencer Hockey<br>Club, and local authority<br>grant funding.|
|||||||However,<br>limitations<br>on the availability<br>ofsome grant funding to new proJects<br>rather than continuation<br>ofexisting and<br>successful projects has proved|
|||||||challenging.<br>The charity has also|
|||||||sought funding<br>from national|
|||||||organlsatlons<br>and funds, but has to|
|||||||date had little success.|
|Statement<br>explaining<br>the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stafing why they are held|||||Pare 1.22|The charity holds reserves for Its day to<br>day operations,<br>and excludes from its<br>reserves any donation orgrant made for|
|||||||a specific purpose,<br>including<br>Its bursary|
|||||||fund.|
|||||||The reserves represent<br>the working<br>capital ofSpencer Lynx and are|
|||||||available to support short- and medium-|
|||||||term objectives and to safeguard|
|||||||against unexpected<br>decreases<br>in|
|||||||Income. The Charity Commission|
|||||||defines free reserves as 'income which|
|||||||becomes available tothe charity and is|
|||||||to be expended atthe executive|
|||||||committee's<br>discretion<br>in furtherance<br>of|
|||||||any ofthe charity's objectives, but is|
|||||||not yet spent, committed<br>ordesignated'.|
|||||||The Board ofTrustees adopts arlsk-|
|||||||based approach to the reserves policy:<br>1.<br>Identify specific risk and create a|
|||||||designated<br>fund for such risks.|
|||||||2.<br>Protect against an unforeseen|
|||||||reduction<br>in Income by retaining 6<br>months'<br>worth ofrunning costs.|
