Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy The Club’s policy is to aim to hold reserves of approximately one month’s
on reserves average expenditure on lets and kits as designated funds. At its financial
year-
end in June 2024, the Club’s independently examined accounts held
unrestricted cash funds of £7,507 of which £7,100 has been designated
for the following purposes; to cover one month's estimated net costs for
training and match lets and kit orders, therefore the remaining balance of
£407 represents a minor excess of the reserves target.
The Club may hold reserves above the target limit. Higher reserves could
provide a greater contingency fund, providing a longer time to recover
from a single event of loss, or enabling the Club to withstand additional
events of loss. Alternatively, reserves could be built up to provide the
Club with the financial platform to commit to additional activities or enable
investment in strategic objectives such as increased and/or dedicated
facilities. Reserves may also reduce to fund operational deficits in any
specific year due to challenges such as decreased income received
and/or increased expenditure incurred.
Details of any deficit This is the 2nd reportable period for the SCIO, however is the first full
official 12 month reportable period. For this period, the SCIO has a
reported operational deficit of £23,847. This has been funded by
utilisation of existing reserves to manage challenging circumstances for
the SCIO during the period with increased costs, primarily on lets costs
which are showing a 29% increase from last year (compared to an
equivalent 12 month period), coupled with a reduction in income primarily
fees which are down 5% from last year (compared to an equivalent 12
month period) mainly due to some teams folding prior to the season end
and resulting in reduced fee payments. These operational deficits
reported have been considered by the Trustees and a change in
membership fee payments schedule for members to being payable over
12 months (previously was a 10 month payment schedule) was introduced
during the reporting period to ensure income maximisation to manage
operational costs and cashflows going forward and enables the SCIO to
aim to achieve at least an annual operational break-even position without
requirement to utilise existing reserves.
Donated facilities and services (if any) The Club has no donated facilities or services.
