## **Report for the Managing Committee year ended 31 August 2023**
## **Accounts**
The managing committee present the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023. The pre-school had a satisfactory year resulting in a loss of £6,281 for the year ended 31 August 2023.
## **Status**
St Peter’s Pre-School (formerly St Peter’s Pre-School and Toddler Group) is a registered charity (Charity Number 1022794).
## **Income**
Income for the year is derived from fees, voluntary donations, early years government funding, other grants and fundraising. This year has only seen partial voluntary contributions from parents and carers. We have put provisions in place for more fundraising for the next year and a fee increase from September 2023.
The committee would like to take the opportunity to thank all those parents and carers who have continued to support our pre-school through contributions and our fundraising efforts throughout the past year.
## **Management**
The pre-school is managed by a parent run committee on a voluntary basis. A new committee is elected at the Annual General Meeting in November. Pre-school staff are non-voting members of the committee.
On behalf of the Committee.
