## Treasurers Report ## Academic Year: September 2021 to August 2022 ## INCOME Total income £66,396.63 (Inc. Fundraising Account) - Income from funded and non funded children into the Current account was £49,199.68 this is a decrease on the last academic year, just over £6.5k less than during 20-21, however this remains comparable with previous years – for example during 19-20 the income was £48,507.09 - We started this year with a balance of £10,481.10 in the current account and have ended the year with a surplus of £8,905.77 - In line with the last academic year; - 68% of our income has come from funded children = £33,380.42 (72% of our income during 20-21 from funded children = £40,341.97) - 32% of income came from non-funded children = £15,819.26 (28% of our income during 2021 from funded children = £15,384.62) Other donations have been received: - Chawton Parish Council grant for £1,000 - East Hants DC grant £500 - Christmas Raffle and play doh sales £190 - Sponsored walk for £147 - Sports day cake sale £118 - Easter Raffle £37.50 - Total raised through fundraising, grants and donations = £1,993 We have raised £1,268 more this academic year compared to the last (£725 raised during 20-21) this is largely due to receiving £1,500 in local authority grants. £500 of this was used to improve our outside facilities by professionally roofing the pergola. £1,000 has been contributed by the Chawton Parish Council to help with financial sustainability of the preschool. We continue to be grateful for the contributions of our families and friends at the preschool, we have raised nearly £500 through sponsored activities and events. ## EXPENDITURE Total Expenditure £55,242.18 (Inc. Fundraising Account) - Overall expenditure has decreased when compared to the last academic year, expenditure for 20-21 was £57,802.35. However during this academic year; a full terms rent was waivered which equates to approx. £2,400, with this in mind all other expenditure is comparable to 20-21. - Our biggest expenditure remains staff wages ; - We have seen an increase in staff wage expenditure of approx. £6,500 per year, when comparing the last two academic years to 19-20. - The preschool is very aware of staff hours, the team are flexible in how many hours they work, the setting always works with ratios in line with legal requirements and enable us to provide a safe environment for the children. - Increases to national minimum wage are having a significant impact on the preschool financially. During 19-20 staff wages were more than £6,500 less than this financial year and equated to 71% of income. During 21-22 staff wages accounted for 83% of income. - `o` Whilst non funded fees can be increased to try to manage this, and provide a sustainable setting, regrettably the funding gap for funded children is beyond our control but has an extremely detrimental impact on the setting. In summary, in light of the increased expenditure on staff wages, the HCC funding gap and lower than usual child numbers Chawton Pre-school is working through a difficult period financially. The financial year ended with £8,905.77 in the current account and £2,248.68 in the fundraising account.
