STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITES
The charity shows a £4,594 surplus for the financial year. There was a return to more of a normal trading year despite the government lockdown in Q1 2021. Fees from parents increased back closer to pre-pandemic levels and expenditure similarly increased in line with activity. The charity has invested in repairing some of the playground infrastructure which resulted in increased maintenance costs which will run into 2021-22.
These accounts have been prepared from bank statements and paperwork provided to me by Red Barn Pre-School.
