This is therefore added back in calculating the 'useable' reserves as fixed assets fall under a separate reserve category. Other notes:
  • p7- The 'useable' funds brought forward at 01/04/2025 are draft and will be updated once the 2025 accounts have been audited.
  • p8- The Playground renewal project was agreed to be funded from reserves at the Charity Committee meeting in September 2023. This cost has been capitalised and is therefore included within the Tangible Assets shown on the Balance Sheet (appendix 2).
