Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The Groups financial position offers no area for concern at this year end. Year end reserves are above the level required for operating expenses. This is due to deposits being paid by Explorers for an International trip to Canada. This trip was later cancelled for operational issues. These deposits are being paid back in the financial year 2024 / 2025.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The Groups policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the activities of the Group should income and fund raising activities fall short. The Trustee Board considers that the Group should hold a minimum sum equivalent to 6 months running costs, around £8000.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	The Group held reserves of around £28,602.55 at this year end. This is above the level required for operating expenses, as explained in Para 1.21.
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22
