Financial. Review
Review ofthe charity's
financial
position at the
ofthe period
end Para 1.21: The Centre's income increased to f60,044
in 202'0/21 with a profit ofK1.5,782
reported
in the year. The Centre's
overall
cash balari'ce (bank and in hand) stood at
F26,742at March 31 2021.
The profit in year was expected as the
' f36„000grant received from the Norman
Dawson Trust was only' partially
utilised
in the year.
The Centre will remain eternally
grateful
. to the'financial
support
piovided
through
the Covid pandemic
by the Wyre Forest
District Council; The timin'g and process, ,
for receiving support was speedy and
'efficient and they should be commended
for this. This:enable'd
the Centre to cope
with the loss ofincome from the sporting
uses, the loss ofBlue Hoots income, the
absence ofthe Blakedown
Bolt and no
hiring ofthe.Centre.
'The underlying'financial
position of the'
Centre at the end of March 2621 is a more
challe'nged
one than that when, .the year
conimenced.
The loss ofBlue.Hoots is a
loss that, has to be accommodated'
through
a combination
of reducing costs
'and increasing
use ofthe.Centre. Given
.
current economic ciicumstances. this is a
challenge'.
