## **The Shoal of Friends Treasurer’s Annual Report 2022** 

This has been a very productive year for Shoal finances. Balance 31 December 2021: £5,501.39 Total income during the year:                   £33,826.39 Total monies paid out during the year:   £31,926.63 Balance 31 December 2022: £7,401.15 

## **Full details of Income are listed at the end of this report. Key points are:** 

- i. The biggest source of income was from a generous donator who has donated a total of £22,000 during the year to specifically help the nursery in these difficult times. This money has been transferred promptly to the nursery. As these large donations have meant that Shoal’s income for the year has exceeded £25,000, we are required by the Charity Commission to provide accounts for them which are independently examined. 

- ii. Shoal has also had several successful bids on the Good Exchange Website.  Monies received during the year have totalled £8543.84. During the year some bids were successfully completed, and the total monies received, these included bids in relation to outdoor play equipment and a new cooker for the nursery. In addition, we have so far received part of the bid money for two other bids which we have on the Good Exchange site. These relate to IT equipment and minibus costs. The monies for these two bids will be paid across to the nursery at the end of the bid period or before if required by the nursery. 

- iii. Shoal has successfully organised a number of fundraising events during the year.   The largest of these was linked to the Jubilee celebrations and the celebrations of the nursery’s 80[th] birthday. The birthday celebration fundraising included a Fun Run and raffle. For finance purposes we have treated these as one event; a total £1692.87 being raised. We also had another very successful Christmas raffle. Money banked to date for the Christmas raffle totals £825.03, with some additional money still expected to add to the final total. 

- iv. Shoal also receives regular monthly payments from West Berkshire Lottery, plus occasional donations from Amazon Europe. 

- v. A small petty cash amount is now held apart from the monies in the bank account. The total of petty cash on 31 December 2022 is £108.48. 

## **Full details of outgoings are listed at the end of this report. Key points are:** 

- Donations from a generous donor totalling £22,000 have been paid to the nursery. 

- A total of £7,583.98 has been transferred to the nursery in respect of money received from Good Exchange bids. 

- Shoal has also donated an additional £1,600 to the nursery (£400 for each class to spend on equipment) 



- Expenses for the Jubilee and 80[th] birthday celebrations were quite large. This was mostly due to the fact the Fun Run was organised for the first time with a number of start-up costs. 

- No expenses yet finalised for the Christmas raffle; these are likely to be minimal.
