Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The Trust’s financial situation is healthy, with an increase in both classes and private bookings providing income. The Hall hire charges were reviewed during the year to ensure they are suitable for the area and those using the Hall, and will be reviewed again during the coming year. The Trustees consider it important that the Hall remains accessible to the local community at a time of significant price rises in so many areas.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The Trust aims always to hold sufficient reserves to cover anticipated utility and other payment commitments for up to a year even

		if the Hall is unable to operate for whatever reason. This is considered particularly important whilst the cost of living remains so high, to ensure the Hall remains available to all. Any additional sums held will be put towards medium / long-term building improvements, ensuring the hire charges are at an affordable rate to attract and retain users, and supporting other local organisations that work to the benefit of the community..
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£3000.00 is held specifically to cover the electricity and water charges for a full year. Additional reserves will be used for the benefit of the building or as indicated above.
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Not applicable
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	There are no funds in deficit for the charity.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	There are no uncertainties about whether the charity will continue as a going concern.
