Para 1.20 | The charity has enabled in excess of 100 training sessions with participants ranging from school-age youngsters, through adult learners and older people with additional needs over the past 12 months.

Para 1.21 | Please refer to the receipts & payments account submitted with this document. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The largest expense is only incurred if sufficient funds are received to enable the charitable activities to take place. Fixed costs are very low and therefore reserves for these expenses are maintained annually to ensure that the charity can continue to operate for 12 months even if funding was to fall. Reserves at 30 September 2023 were in excess of the amount required due to timing differences in carrying out the activities required by our funding. |
