Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Bookings have increased this year, while donations have remained consistent, resulting in increased overall income of some 36%. Routine outgoings have increased broadly in line with inflation. As a result, our working capital has increased to just over £8100. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Our funding model remains to grow a suitable equitable reserve of £7500, which will sustain the charity for at least 12 months following any unforeseen circumstances. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | Our capital has now reached £7500, the level of equitable reserve required by our funding model. Our aim is to keep it at that level, but we anticipate significant expenditure in the coming year on a replacement main entrance door. |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | N/A |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | N/A |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
