Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 For our first year, our financial
financial position at the position was fair, considering we were

well as dealing with the uncertainty of
COVID and ‘Lockdown Restrictions’.
This meant that Grants and other
means of raising monies were not
available to us. However, due to the
generosity of our volunteer team and
their families, we were able to raise
the funds required to purchase what
was needed to begin operations when
we were allowed. This meant that we
did not fall into any deficit financially
Statement explaining Para 1.22 We actively state that any monies
the policy for holding raised go to providing more to our
reserves stating why Cadets. This means subsiding trips
they are held and events along with the purchasing
of new equipment and sundries to
give them a more rounded
experience. Any monies held are done
so due to the cost of larger future
projects, such as minibus
maintenance or building
maintenance. However, any Cadet
and Volunteer part of the ICF can
request monies to be spent where the
committee feels it is right and
appropriate to do so.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 During this financial period, the
amount of reserves held was no more
than £500.
