– Treasurers Annual Report April 2022 March 2023 for Metheringham Preschool.
Submitted at the AGM – September 2023
As you can see, we made a profit this year although it is not as large as last year it is still a profit which means we are covering our cost with the increase in fees which we had to implement
Wages have increased but within this year, but this was mainly due to the living wage increase which took affect in April 2023. And the addition of two part time aunties and would like to welcome Keely and Liz
We have had also an increase in money spent in play equipment but this has been mainly funded by an increase in the funding for LCC. The children im sure are loving all the new paly equipment
The bank account is running with a healthy credit balance and this year’s accounts show a credit balance of £28685.06. This has increased a little from last year mainly as we made a profit.
As I write this, we are halfway through another year which is going steady and we are hoping for an increase in number after Christmas.
At Christmas we said a fond farewell to one of our longest standing aunties – Auntie Juli who has been an integral part of preschool for many years even teaching me when I was young. So Im sure she will be missed.
I have enjoyed my time as treasurer at Metheringham Pre School and im truly happy to have support of some great aunties and committee members.
But it is with a sad and heavy heart this is going to have to be my last as treasurer at Metheringham Pre school with other commitments and with my children no longer attending the settings I feel I can no longer give the support that the aunties deserve.
If anyone would like or knows of anyone who would like to take this role on then please let me or anna know I will give them all the support they will need to carry on this role
Looking forward to another exciting year ahead which will be my last as treasurer
