## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 The charity is in a healthy financial
financial position at the end position
of the period
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 The charity does not necessarily need
policy for holding reserves reserves or have a specific reserves
stating why they are held policy as it has no ongoing running
costs, and does not generally commit to
ongoing funding over a period of time.
The balance in the accounts is a surplus
where the income (which can be
sporadic) exceeded the grants requested
and made during the year. The trustees
have also once again agreed to hold back
the sum of £250000 to support new
community facilities if Faversham town is
significantly extended in the future by the
Duchy of Cornwall. A planning decision
on this is still ongoing and further
income for the charity is uncertain
Details of fund materially in Para 1.24 None
deficit
Explanation of any Para 1.23 None
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern
