Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	The charity finished the year in a slightly weakened financial position (compared to the previous year), after heavily investing in facilities that we use as well as our own facilities. Unfortunately, donations, grants and membership fees were down this financial year, and the trustees have already taken difficult decisions around investment for the following year while we wait to see how the current cost of living crisis continues to affect the charity and what mitigating factors we can employ.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	We consider that cash reserves should be always maintained at a minimum of £5k of unrestricted cash. This is deemed a prudent level to cover several months of operating expenses when monthly membership payments are at there lowest. Any medium/ large projects are planned with adequate funding in place before commencement.
Amount of reserves held	£5k
