## **Achievements and Performance**

|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**Since opening our doors following the**<br>**easing of ‘Lockdown Restrictions’ in**<br>**England, we have seen a very positive**<br>**interest in our organisation, from both**<br>**Children and Adults alike. We have**<br>**more than achieved in terms of our**<br>**membership, gaining nearly 30 new**<br>**Cadets within the space of 3 months.**<br>**Our membership continues to be at this**<br>**number with regular new applications**<br>**made.**<br>**We have seen great progress in our**<br>**Cadets, with many having gained great**<br>**confidence and new skills. There have**<br>**been occasions where a child have**<br>**gained a lot within themselves, so much**<br>**so that this has been fed back to us by**<br>**parents and school teachers.**<br>**We have had the backing and support of**<br>**our Cadets’ Parents, with many**<br>**choosing to help out at our events. In**<br>**addition, our charity Name is being**<br>**spread wide within the community, with**<br>**an emphasis on how we are ready and**<br>**willing wherever possible to help further**<br>**within the community.**|

## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**For our first year, our financial position**<br>**was fair, considering we were starting a**<br>**brand now organisation as well as**<br>**dealing with the uncertainty of COVID**<br>**and ‘Lockdown Restrictions’. This**<br>**meant that Grants and other means of**<br>**raising monies were not available to us.**<br>**However, due to the generosity of our**<br>**volunteer team and their families, we**<br>**were able to raise the funds required to**<br>**purchase what was needed to begin**<br>**operations when we were allowed. This**<br>**meant that we did not fall into any deficit**<br>**financially.**|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**We actively state that any monies raised**<br>**go to providing more to our Cadets. This**<br>**means subsiding trips and events along**<br>**with the purchasing of new equipment**<br>**and sundries to give them a more**<br>**rounded experience. Any monies held**<br>**are done so due to the cost of larger**<br>**future projects, such as minibus**<br>**maintenance or building maintenance.**<br>**However, any Cadet and Volunteer part**<br>**of the ICF can request monies to be**<br>**spent where the committee feels it is**<br>**right and appropriate to do so.**|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**During this financial period, the amount**<br>**of reserves held was no more than £500.**|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|**n/a**|
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24|**n/a**|
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Para 1.23|**We do not have any uncertainties for the**<br>**charities future, in fact we see a very**<br>**bright future.**|
