**A review of the Charity’s financial position at the end of the year** 




The period started with £1,237 in the bank and petty cash and ended the period with £826. The amount held is simply due to the timings of cheques being lodged after the end of the period, where the money was already held by the unit. 

## **Details of any fund held by the Charity that was materially in deficit at the end of the year and steps taken by the Charity Trustees to eliminate the deficit** 

The accounts for the period ended 31 August 2022 show a deficit of £326.59. This is due to the timing of lodgements and receipts that occurred post period end. 

The charity was not in an overdraft position at any time during the period – there has always been sufficient money held in the bank.
