## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|Bookings have remained strong this year,<br>which, together with a grant for table tennis<br>facilities, has kept our overall income at a<br>broadly similar level to the previous year.<br>Routine outgoings have increased broadly<br>in line with inflation, but necessary<br>replacement of the front door resulted in an<br>increase of about 30% in our total<br>outgoings. As a result, our working capital<br>has fallen slightly to just over £7200.|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Our funding model remains to retain a<br>suitable equitable reserve of £7500, which<br>will sustain the charity for at least 12<br>months following any unforeseen<br>circumstances.|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|Despite this year’s expenditure on a<br>replacement main entrance door, we have<br>kept our equitable reserve very close to the<br>level required by our funding model.|
