## **Financial Review** 

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