Our income this year when compared to last is down by £8,055.62. This is mostly due to not being able to take on as many children due to staffing difficulties.

This year has been very difficult for the Pre-School with ongoing price hikes and staff shortages.

Although general income has been reduced this year, we are still incredibly proud of our fundraising totals thanks to the generosity and support of our wonderful community.

Expenditure last year was £65,441.07. This means our expenditure has increased by £1,531.02. I feel that this is a minimal increase in expenditure considering the ongoing price rises of running costs.

We did have a wage increase for the staff in April which we felt was essential for our valuable staff and to increase our chances of recruiting new staff.

Yearly Summary September 2023 - August 2024

Overall, this has been a very challenging year for Tiddlywinks especially with the current economy and staff shortages. A lot of price rises within the economy has seen a rise in our expenses. There is also a nationwide shortage of Level 3 trained staff and recruitment has been difficult.

We have managed to increase our wages earlier this year for all of the members of staff. This decision was made due to the hard work and dedication of the staff .

We do still have some Santander shares however, these are still tied up in the names of previous committee members. These still sit dormant with Santander as due to the time and effort to change these over they are currently of no tangible value to the pre-school. This may change in the future if these shares increase.

As we move forward and into 2025, care should be taken with the current economic climate and the increase of National Insurance contributions. The Pre-School is vulnerable to further price increases within all of their expenditure and this needs to be counteracted by our income.

We are hoping to recruit another staff member with level 3 qualifications which will allow us to take on more children and therefore increase our income.
