Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	This is the first financial period end for the youth club, and as such we are in a start up position and the youth club is not currently in operation. This financial period has been spent seeking donations and facilitating fund raising opportunities to give us the vital funds required to make the youth club become a reality. Minimal expenditure has occurred, as we do not have any wages to pay or equipment purchased at this point.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	As it is the first financial period for the youth we are in a good position in terms of reserves. The Trustees regularly review the finances, budgets and spend against budget together with a monthly cash flow analysis as part of the financial control of the youth club. Current policy (subject to annual review) is to maintain a balance of funds of at least 6 months operating costs. This largely equates to wages of the Youth workers, plus any equipment or supplies we need for the youth club sessions. At this point we would then have to source more donations or fundraising opportunities.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£15,619
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Not applicable
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	Not applicable
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	Not applicable
