During this period, we have been ab lo increase the donations to the organisalions we support,, the spread of grants made was similar lo previous years, including organisations and inilialives such as being a sponsor for Bule Island Radio, Beachwatch Bule, the Bute Wheelers cycling club. the 8ule Noir ¢rime fiGlion feslNal, the Lade Centre {for Ihe elderly, ill and di8abled}, the Bute Arts Society, play areas at Norlh Bute and St Andrews primary schools, fttnding for a new healing system for St Andrew's Catholic Church, assisting in the fvnding of the dialysis unit al victoria Hospital, and travel expenses for Bute students in dancing, piping and sporting competitions. FDr Bule is supported by a network of volunteers who manage, stock and run Ihe Community Thrift Shop. None of the staff or trustees receive remuneration, and no money from the shop has gone toward the purchase of the vehicle used for collections and deliveries. For Bule volunteers are largely retired. and being part of the team in such a busy and large shop keeps them involved and active in communrf(y life. Financial review Brief statement ofthe charity'3 policy on reserves For Bule is responsible for all repairs lo its extremely large Iwo-stofey Victoria Street premises. We have always waintained a healthy reserve lo cover al least two years, rent on the premises and for insurances, utility bills and water rates, as well as any unforeseen emerqen¢ies. This reserve amount has increased as we heve more than quadrupled the amount of stock we can offer in the shop and incorne has risen accordingly. We have boen incr8asing the amount funded and will continue lo do so. We are still anticipating supporting the Lade Centre Ir8nsilion to owning its premises, lo provide sgcurity for an organisalion Drovidino vrtal services for the vulnerable. For Bule has no deficit.
