The Playgroup faced difficulties in securing the aid of a skilled treasurer after this financial year (31 August 2022) which has resulted in the late submission of these accounts. A treasurer was nominated but unfortunately did not fulfil their obligations and departed the committee without providing the assistance promised. As the committee is consisted primarily of volunteers, nominating a suitable treasurer who could respectfully finish the obligations to a high standard was not an easy feat. We are very proud to say that with perseverance the Playgroup now has a very strong committee with a skilled treasurer, who are all dedicated to enhancing the setting and ensuring the timely submission of all future accounts. Our new treasurer has been on board since September 2023.
