Financial Review

Review of the charity’s fnancial
positon at the end of the period		 Para 1.21 At the end of this reportng period the charity has
completed its Concept and Assessment phase and
has also been notfed it has been successful securing
a Sport England Grant. It is therefore fnancially
sound and ready to purchase additonal equipment,
which supports the forecastng for ramping up in the
sessions delivered, to a greater and wider varied
number ofpartcipants.
Statement explaining the policy for
holding reserves statng why they
are held		 Para 1.22 The Charity does not have a positon on holding
reserves, as it is too early in its life to have sufcient
informaton to identfy what reserves levels are
required. Sufcient informaton is likely to have been
gathered in the next reportng period so that
informed decisions can be taken for subsequent
years.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Nil
Reasons for holding zero reserves Para 1.22 The Charity does not have a positon on holding
reserves, as it is too early in its life to have sufcient
informaton to identfy what reserves levels are
required. Sufcient informaton is likely to have been
gathered in the next reportng period so that
informed decisions can be taken for subsequent
years.
Details of fund materially in defcit Para 1.24 Not Applicable as the charity does not have any funds
that are materiallyin defcit.
Explanaton of any uncertaintes
about the charity contnuing as a
going concern		 Para 1.23 Cost of Living Crisis. Whilst TT can deliver signifcant
benefts, it is considered a luxury not a necessity to
many. There is a risk that the Cost of Living contnues
to reduce the amount of disposable cash of the
charity’s members, and thus in turn through natural
prioritsaton could signifcantly impact the numbers.
The club instantaton of the charity is in its startup
stage, and is heavily reliant upon the current CEO
performing many of the requisite roles. Should the
charity lose the CEO, the charity may efectvely cease
to functon.
Currently the venue is provided to the charity by
bespoke hiring of one, many or all spaces the
Broadoak Sports Academy facilites via Cabot
Learning Facilites (CLF). In this reportng period the
charity has only been able to aford booking one
Badminton court’s worth of space. Should the charity
be unable to grow so it can book more space, there is
a real and present danger that the venue is hired out
to other customers who are able to make larger and
more frequent bookings. Similarly, CLF may increase
the cost of booking spaces, which would bring
additonal risk from an afordability perspectve.

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

The charity’s principal sources of
funds (including any fundraising)		 Para 1.47 In this reportng period the charity received a one-of

source of income.
Investment policy and objectves

policies.
policy adopted Para 1.46
A descripton of the principal risks
facing the charity		 Para 1.46 As above:
Cost of Living Crisis.
Heavily reliant upon the current CEO.
Venue hires and costs.
Other The club instantaton of the charity has a good
chance to grow and make a diference to many
people’s lives in the local and surrounding areas, but
this growth depends upon having sufcient capable
and qualifed people. Growing these people is going
to be partcularly challenging without an additonal
injecton of funds, and so the charity will be seeking
cooperatve opportunites with grant providers and
looking at other sources of potental fund raising and
income to support thepeoplegrowthplan.
