charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 To date, the focus of the LPCT has been to

Extensive formal and information
consultation with the community has taken
place to guide our design, planning,
functions and facilities of the new building,
ensuring we meet the Community's needs
and wishes.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against
objectives set		 Para 1.41 Currently limited to achievements above.
The focus is on securing the Outline
planning for a new community facility from
which point, efforts will focus on the design,
build and running of said facility for the
good of the community and trust objectives.
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set		 Para 1.41 A decision was made by the committee not
to conduct any meaningful fundraising
activities until we have achieved Outline
Planning.
This is so that we can meaningfully
associate donations or grants to specific
elements of project spend.
Investment performance
against objectives		 Para 1.41 There has been no investment to date nor
expenditure for the above reasons. Any
services required have been provided on a
self-help or voluntary basis (i.e. legal

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 £0.00
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 No reserves held and decisions relating to
this will be made once a form of regular
income is generated.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £0.00
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 No income yet
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 £0.00
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 Currently, there is no financial commitment.
However, once outline planning is granted
project risks will relate to the ability to
generate enough spend for the community
facility build.
Once the build is completed (expected to
take 2-years+), there will then be an
ongoing risk to manage, balancing regular
income from the facility to pay its
overheads and invest in its growth.

Investment policy and

adopted		 Para 1.46 Investment is currently focused on
achieving the build of a new community
facility.

build phase of the project, so related
policies will be established and formalised.
A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 1. Planning:
We are confident that planning will be
approved, however, there is a risk that we
may not be able to:
a. Secure approval for the build
b. Achieve the design required to
conduct planned activities.
2. Community:
Whilst we have a quorate and active
committee there is a risk that we may not
be able to:
a. Generate interest locally and
beyond
b. Maintain support for the LPCT
and its purpose
3. Affordability:
Although we have been pledged £100,000
towards costs there is a risk that we will not
be able to:
a. Generate sufficient funds for the
design and build of the facility.
b. Generate sufficient income to
cover operating costs.
c. Raise funds to give back to the
Community via trust objects.
