Achievements and Perforniance
SORP reference
Over the last 12 months SVHARA has
continued to establish itself as the
communty hub for Stroud and the
neighbouring villages of Ramsdean and
Langrish, neither of whom have
community spaces of their own. This Is
only going to grow as the local Langrish
CofE Church is scheduled to close in
the near future. The fact the hall is run
by villagers for the village means it is
always open and the trustees have
plans to install an emergency power
suppty which will enable the hall to
become a warm space during what are
becoming more frequent power cuts. Its
popularity as a village hub is evidenced
by the fact that most events are fully
booked well in advance.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identrfying the drfference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstances of ts
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.

Financial Review
Review of the charity's
firkqncial posthon at the end
of the period
Para 1.21
A small operational loss of £1,894 was
seen during the review period. a
decrease from last year and with less
funding received. Ovorall. the move to a
balanced budget is proceeding but the
trustees are also mindful of a potential
impact on income during the current
cost of livin
crisis.
ft is the CharIt￿S policy to hold a
minimum of six months expenditure
(excludlng depreclatlon) in cash
reserves - currently circa £16,000 - both
to balance cashflow and cover any
periods where expenditure exceeds
income.
