Financial review
Brief statement of the charity's policy TFife Steel Basketball Club aims to maintain a prudent level of unrestricted
on reserves
reserves to ensure the stability and continuty of our charitable activities.
Our policy is to hold sufficient reserves to cover essential operating costs
and to safeguard the charity against UnfOres￿n financial challenges or
interruptions to income.
The target level of reserves is reviewed annually by the Trustees. taking
into account planned activities, future commitrnents, and potential risks.
Any reserves held above the target level are reinvested directly into the
development of our programmes, community engagement initiatives, and
the long-tenn sustainability of the dub.
This approach ensures that the charity remains finaneialty resilient while
maximising the impact of funds for the benefit of our players, schools, and
wider communty.
The small defictt recorded this year reflects the dub's deliberate decision
lo continue delivering high-quality programmes and community activities
despite rising operational costs and the tj'ming of certain grant payments.
In several cases, expenditure for key projects, such as school
engagement sessions. community events, and seasonal camps, was
incurred before the corresponding ftjnding was received. These funds are
confimed and expected in the following financial period, ensuring the
deficit is temporary rather than structural.
Details of any deficit
Additional￿, the Trustees agreed that maintaining programme continuity
for children, young people, and families was a priority, even if it required
drawing SI￿h11Y on reserves. This approach ensured that no sessions
were cancelled, communty engagement remained strong, and
participation continued to grow.
The Trustees regularty monitor the financial position and are confident that
the deficit is manageable, short-term, and aligned with the charity's
strategic aims. Wilh confirmed fvnding for the coming year and continued
community support. the club remains in a stable financial position.
Donated facilities and services (if any) This year, the charity provided free weekly gids, basketball sessions and
delivered muttiple taster sessK)ns within local primary schools, all led by
our Communty Engagement Officer. These activities formed a key part of
our Contri￿lOn to the Active Schools engagement programme, helping
introduce more children, particularly young girls U12's, to basketball while
promoting physical activty. confKlence. and participation across the
communty.
