ongoing running and maintenance costs.
Financial review:
At the end of the period the charity recorded a deficit of £8,614 and had reserves of
£39,807. £2,408 of the reserves are attributed to the defibrillator fund for the ongoing
costs and maintenance of the defibrillator. The deficit was largely due to the substantial
repairs and maintenance costs incurred this year, primarily the £10,125 spent on the

replacement of the hall windows. The hall also paid £720 for replacement fencing,
£500 for servicing and upgrading the AV system and £450 for an asbestos
management survey.
Reserves are held by the charity to ensure sufficient funds for the maintenance and
upkeep of the hall and in order to make future improvements to the facilities.
