In common with many other village halls, the increase in expenditure on heating significantly challenged the financial viability of continued operations. A grant from Tendring District Council aided, and most lighting fixtures were replaced with LED lighting to try and minimise costs. **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** ## **Brief statement of the** **charity’s policy on reserves** The Village Hall operates a capital reserve account to be utilised for large scale purchases, such as replacement equipment, fittings, and furniture. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** NIL ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; The Management Committee normally undertakes a range of fundraising events during the year.
