Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity is continuing with its work to support its service users with its established range of services based around its community centre. There is still a great deal of needs that are not met by any other provider. Usage of the facilities at the charity’s community centre have now returned to pre-pandemic levels. During the period the charity has completed projects funded by the National Lottery and delivered a range of activities with the aid of smaller grants from other sources. Provision of day care services for those with special needs continues to recover following their cessation during the COVID pandemic. |

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Following the completion of a major lottery funded project during the year, receipts have fallen significantly. Nevertheless, at the year end the charity remained solvent. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Our policy is to hold free reserves equivalent to three month’s operating costs. This continues to be an aspiration as we are substantially dependent on grant income which is usually restricted. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | £1000 |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 | |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 | |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | Because of the Charity’s ongoing significant dependence on time limited grants there are always uncertainties regarding the future. With the completion of the Lottery funded project (noted above) concern for the future has increased this year. However, major efforts are in hand to attract appropriate funding and currently the charity believes these will be fruitful. |
