Para 1.20 | The charity trustees have worked hard during the year to continue to raise funds to improve the facilities within the hall, having particular regard to improving the layout of the hall, particularly the siting of the disabled toilet. This work was carried out during the year, improving the facilities available to all users of the hall and in particular improving the facilities available to disabled users. The hall is a well-used facility to a number of local sports groups, offering karate classes to adults and children, table tennis and yoga classes. The hall also provides a safe environment for local families to hire for children’s parties. |

Financial Review

|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Further funds were raised during the year for renovation and upgrading projects. Funds raised from the previous year and this financial year were expended on significant renovation projects resulting in a net loss for the financial year. Excluding the donations and grants received in the year, the income that the hall receives from the regular hires and occasional users means that the regular hall running costs are covered by the hall hire income, and total profit generated from hall hires in the year was just under £900.00. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The trustees aim to hold around £20,000 in reserve at any time to ensure the charity is in a position to undertake emergency work to the hall should it be necessary. Funds held in excess of this are for specific renovation or major repair work planned by the trustees. |
