completed its Concept and Assessment phase and
has also been notfed it has been successful securing

|Statement explaining the policy for

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

|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.|

|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.|
