Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial
position at the end of the
period		 Para 1.21 The charity took over the running of the
community centre building from North
Tawton Youth Club. During the period,
running expenses were covered by income
from venue hire. The charity has sufficient
funds in reserve to cover anticipated future
running costs.
Statement explaining the policy
for holding reserves stating
why they are held		 Para 1.22 Reserves are held to cover building running
costs, repairs and maintenance.
Trustees have discussed and agreed that in
future reserves will be managed in a way to
balance the need for instant short term
access to some reserves, with some
reserves in notice period accounts to obtain
higher rate of return.
At year end, all reserves were held on
current account – investment in notice
period accounts of reserves commenced in
the next financial period to July 2024.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £20,700
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 n/a
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 n/a
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the charity
continuing as a going concern		 Para 1.23 None for this period of account. However,
after period end, and before agreeing
accounts, it should be noted that our main
customer has given notice. This does not
impact the going concern viability in the
short term (current reserves are sufficient to
cover approx. four year’s of running cost).
Trustees are meeting regularly to discuss
alternative strategies.
