## **Review of the Year**
Last financial year (Sept 2022 until Aug 2023) saw us receive £2695.80 in fundraising and grants and donations, £1892.10 of that was raised from the very first Cherry Tree Pre-School fete which was a great success and raised more than expected.
The total expenditure for the last financial year 2022-2023 was £58,571.99 which was similar to year ending August 2022 (£55,596.30) however the total income for the last financial year 2022-2023 was £15,361.57 less than in 2012-2022, this was really due to the lack of numbers in the 2022-2023 academic year.
Therefore in summary for 2022-2023 income was £48,768.20 but expenditure was £58,571.99 – therefore we made a loss of £9803.79 – we need to keep an eye on this deficit in 2023-2024, however it is already looking better as we have a lot more children registered and attending cherry tree in academic year 2023-2024 than in academic year 2022-2023.
## **Reserves**
The Trustees financial aim each year is to have a year-end figure in the bank account high enough to cover the overheads and wages of the pre-school for a minimum of 4 months. We have continued to have the funds in the account to meet this aim.
