Financial review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period

The charity made a surplus of £5,967.63 . Compared to 2023/24 this was a big improvement. Income from funding increased by over £22,000 with income from fees dropping by £8,000. This is due to 2yr old funding starting in this financial year. Fundraising increased from £4705 to £7404 which has helped to purchase equiptment and toys for the children. The most profitable events were the Summer Fayre and Christmas and Halloween parties all of which are very popular in the village. The highest cost is wages, which have inceased again to £52,761 due to increases in the mimimum wage and changes to national insurance.
