## **Financial Review**

Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 Whilst this year has been significantly
financial position at the easier post-pandemic, covid still had
end of the period an impact on fundraising
opportunities during the early part of
2021/2022 academic year.
Overall, the Pre-School recorded
losses of £7925. This however does
include £4322 costs (largely salaries)
that were paid on the 31 [st] August
2021 and should have been included
in the accounts for the prior year).
With that taken into account, these
loses are less than previous years and
show the impact of moving out of the
pandemic and returning to our usual
running.
Accounts are healthy and the Pre
School should benefit from
fundraising activities recommencing
this academic year. The number of
children on roll is also rising which will
increase the income from fees and
donations.
