“A reserve fund of £20,000 has been set by the Trustees”
“With the absence of a treasurer, from January to March 2025 income and expenditure was not monitored as closely as it could have been, although the day-to-day accounts work was carried out by the Halls Manager and Chair of Trustees, which was not ideal.” — page 3
