## **Treasurer’s Report AGM 2023.2024** 

## **Moreton in Marsh Playgroup** 

## **Meeting 30[th] September 2024** 

Playgroup has two bank accounts and closing balances of these as of 31[st] August 2024 were as follows: 

Treasurer’s Account: £72092.89 

Contingency Account: £21,151.45 

Fundraising Account: £1,136.65 

We also have an HMRC debtor of £3,916.80, which will offset against PAYE liabilities for the coming months (approx. 10mths) 

This report is based on the 2023/2024 accounting year (September – August). 

The yearly audit has been independently completed. I am due to collect the report next week. 

I can report that the total income to the Treasurer’s account was £102,903 less expenditure of £80,686. This gives an overall surplus of £22,217 over the year. This is in a large part due to increased education funding but also being down to a low quota of staff, and I would like to thank the team for pulling together and getting through what has been a trying year at times. 

## Money in: 

The education funding for this year was £91,859.46 compared to last year’s £66,553. 

Children’s fees decreased to £7,840 from £11,940 last year, we have accounted for a debtor figure of £225.00 still owing from parents in the accounts. It should be worth noting that this years figure is in line with the 2021.2022 year 

Fundraising efforts raised £1985.87 (£1,759 : 2023). The best fundraisers again were the Bingo night and the Christmas events. Other fundraising efforts included Rags to Riches collections, the pop-up shop and drinks/ foo/ sweet sales at events 

This year, we also received a donation again from Edith Mann Charity, totalling £150. Should we consider a thank you letter to be sent or these types of donation. 



## Money out: 

Employment costs totalled £64,559 compared to £66,150 last year. Again due to the lower level of staff as previously stated. 

Premises costs totalled £11,565 compared to last year’s £10,959. 

Consumables costs (inclusive of snack fund) decreased significantly to £1,399 compared to £4,126 last year. A testatment to Nicola for keeping on top of those and keeping costs down to a minimum. 

The Contingency bank account continued to receive £100 per month from the Treasurer’s account. We have talked about looking to invest some of this some into a high interest ISA or such like and will continue to research a best option 

## Summary 

This financial year has seen many difficulties, especially from staffing, the cost in living continues to increase and we envisage an increase from all fronts over the next year. Whilst we have a cushion to absorb some of these costs, we should be actively seeking to raise more funds by way of fundraising and grants and donations. The 2024/2025 year will see playgroup back up to staffing levels we would typically expect and as such the funding will cover this, but we need to actively look to cover the running costs from the fundraising and such like. 

The committee have and will continue to monitor Playgroup’s finances carefully, this year resulting in reducing the deficit from last year’s figures. Although overall spending remains on par with the previous year, there is likely to be further increases to costs and we need to remain vigilant to ensure these are kept in check. 

I’d ask that those within the Playgroup community (parents/ members/ friends/ grandparents) need to remain vigilant of the expenditure of the setting, and continue to promote and run fundraising events to allow the setting to continue to provide childcare to our local community.
