Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 The charity’s expenditure during the period

of the period shown in its accompanying accounts,
almost entirely due to the Covid pandemic
which had a major negative impact on hire
fees received. A credit balance in the
charity’s TSB bank account of £27,308.57
resulted from the closure of its Nationwide
Building Society account and the transfer of
its funds into the TSB account.

policy for holding reserves expenditure. There are no reserves at the
