What the accounts disclose
“the trustees have a designated "Contingency Fund" of £60,000.”
“The trustees are constantly mindful of the possibility of substantial increases in rent and or business rates - despite the local authority's agreement to fund part of the rent and all business rate charges. With local authority finances generally weak, the trustees believe that this threat must be kept firmly in mind, if not at the forefront of current concerns.” — page 5
“A wholly owned subsidiary company, Tottenham Community Sports Centre 703 Club Limited, operates a social club and licensed bar” — page 4
