## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**||||
|---|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**Current account balance £15816**<br>**Deposit account balance £15458**|roups|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The trustees have established an agreed level of<br>reserves that we wish to maintain.  This is based<br>on an assessment of:<br>1.<br>the risk of incurring signifcant<br>unforeseen  expenditure  that  cannot<br>be delayed, and the likely magnitude<br>of such expenditure, and<br>2.<br>the risk of sufering signifcant<br>unforeseen loss of income which<br>cannot be replaced in the short term,<br>and again the likely magnitude of such<br>a loss.<br>The agreed level of reserves is designed to<br>ensure that enough short term funds would be<br>available in the event of one or more of these<br>outcomes, such that the ongoing operatons of<br>the Hall, Cotage, Recreaton Ground and Ms<br>Shirley’s Grove and designated project<br>expenditure would not be afected in all but<br>extreme circumstances.<br>The risk and magnitude of unforeseen<br>expenditure is clearly afected by our<br>knowledge of the state of the building, which is<br>generally in good conditon.  However, the<br>cotage roof will need replacing and given the<br>buildings are old it is reasonable to expect<br>repairs will be needed from tme to tme.<br>With many regular user groups our income is<br>quite robust and predictable however we are<br>overly dependent on two large users; the pre-<br>school and the cotage rent.<br>Taking these factors into account, the current<br>minimum level of reserves that we wish to<br>maintain is £15,000 comprising:<br>Unforeseen major repairs<br>Loss of income from 2 or 3 large user g<br>£5,000<br>An amount of £15,000 represents about 8-9<br>months average Trust income based on the<br>income received from 01/22 to 12/22 (Post<br>Covid).||
