Review
This year again our main fundraising event was Party by the Parrett which raised £26,500 and has subsidised the running costs of the Community Centre.
Finances
The reserve policy as laid out in the 2015 business plan submitted to the Big Lottery is to hold a budget equivalent to two to three years (est. £50,000 - £75,000) costs as an ongoing contingency fund. With an additional £25,000 as an additional contingency for major repairs and replacements. It should be noted that although we attempt to maintain these levels costs have increased drastically since 2015 and realistically in this financial period, we have maintained an average contingency of one-year costs plus major repair contingency.
We continue to fund raise to:
Supplement income received from hall hire charges for the maintenance of the fabric and running costs.
To maintain and develop access for all recreational facilities as stated in our objectives.
Responsibility for the Financial Statement
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements keeping proper accounting records that disclose the financial position of the charity. The accounts are independently reviewed, and an Independent Examiners Report is attached.
Forward Planning
We are continuing to investigate new equipment to improve the facility however a large amount of funds is currently spent on repairs and renewals of existing equipment.
