## **STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITES** 

The charity shows a £5,053 deficit for the financial year. Income has largely recovered from the pandemic now which has allowed the nursery to invest in facilities including re-asphalting the playground which was a significant expense. Hampshire County Council have introduced service charges at a cost of over £1,500 pa. 

These accounts have been prepared from bank statements and paperwork provided to me by Red Barn Pre-School.
