Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity,
Para 1.20 The venue would
ordinarily
be accessible for

ofAlsager,
in line with the
charity's
work has made to
the circumstances
of its
beneficiaries
and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
charity's
purposes as set out in its governing
document.
However,
during the 2020-21
financial year, due to COVID-19 restrictions,
the charity has only been able to provide
facilities to a limited section ofthe
population.
The charity provided a COVID safe venue,
as much as it was able to do so, in line with
the government
restrictions
that were in
place.
The charity accessed all available
COVID
related government
grant funding
and also
advised
its hirers ofavailable
grants that
they were also eligible to apply for. Due to
the grant funding
provided,
the charity was
able to offer tailored financial
support to its
hirers to support them
in being able to

continue to operate, taking
into account the
impact that social distancing
measures
had
on capacity numbers
and additional
cleaning
requirements.
It is widely acknowledged
that the COVID-19
pandemic
has detrimentally
impacted
upon
wellbeing
and mental
health.
It is believed
that the continued
provision ofthe venue
during the pandemic,
has had a positive
contribution
to the residents ofAlsager's
mental
health and wellbeing.
Aspecific example ofthis is the community
interest company
who is a major user ofthe
venue.
They were able to continue to utilise
the facility for the majority ofthe pandemic to
provide
continued
support to their customer
base which is young adults with additional
needs.
Soft intelligence
gathering
has
indicated
that their customer base and
related support
network have benefitted
significantly
from the continued
provision of
the facilities
in providing
a COVID secure
venue.
The COVID restrictions
placed major
limitations
on the service they could provide
but with financial
support
provided
by the
charity, they were able to undertake a limited
service to support their users. As the
restrictions
have been lifted, their customer
base has increased
again and they are very
grateful to the charity for the support offered
during a very difficult time.
Despite the impact of COVID-19 restrictions,
as a result ofgovernment
grant funding
accessed, the charity generated a small
surplus
in the year. Alsager Town Council
also provided
additional
financial
support to
the charity both generally
and to carry out
health and safety work.

Objectives
he two primary objectives ofa prudent

policy are:
1. The security ofreserves (protecting the
capital sum from loss)
2.
Liquidity
(keeping the money readily avail-
able for expenditure

ider a third objective, what level ofyield can
be obtained consistent
with the first two ob-
'ectives.

priorities
there-
ore are:
