## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 Income for the year was higher than
financial position at the end previous years due to increased lettings
of the period and carefully considered rate increases
to ensure we maintain sufficient funds
to cover regular costs and one off
planned and emergency maintenance.
This resulted in a surplus after normal
running costs and one off maintenance
expenditure and a healthy reserves
balance at the end of the year.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 The hall is an old building which
policy for holding reserves requires regular maintenance which can
stating why they are held be expensive. While grants may be
available in some circumstances the
charity have a policy of holding reserves
to ensure all routine and emergency
maintenance costs can be met as they
fall due. To provide a fund for future
expected costs a designated
maintenance fund of £20000 was agreed
as at the year end.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Reserves at the year end were
approximately £37000 including the
designated maintenance fund of £20000.
