Quantify and explaln any deslgnatlons Detsils of any funds materially in deficit The Club had a deficit of £1310.00 on unrestricted funds plus an interest free loan of £1340. The defidt was due to a mix of circumstsnces caused by the effects of the Covid pandemic. (circumstsnces plus steps to eliminate) Incomes were reduced as a result of perlods of suspended subscrlptions as well as no abilty to conduct nomial local fundraising actmties in the community. Furthemiore. regular costs remained ongoing throughout this period, and when actlvities could resume. more equiptment and consumables were needed to provide a safe and interesting programme under the new drcumstances. (for example; purchase of multlple tools and Items to avoid shared handling by the children, as well as providing deaning and hygene materials) At the tlme of writing thls report (Nov 2021) we can confirm that this defidt on unrestricted funds is now deared following a period of increased fundraising, and redu spending.
