The primary user is now myself, Emma Sexton. Secondary users of these accounts are Joanna Postins and Kate Mapstone. There are no other named persons on the account. ## The Savings Account The Savings Account has been severely depleted due to the closure over the pandemic. There was a net loss of £12,335.72. The current fund should be enough in case of forced redundancy however we should aim to build this up again in the following few years. ## The Community Account Total income to the account for this year was £70322.42 of which £58647.38 is actual in. Total outgoings of the account for this year was £62040.82 of which £50355.78 is actual out. This difference in total and actual is due to the closure of the bank accounts on 18/11/20 due to a misunderstanding in the administration of the account. This matter was resolved and the account was re-opened on 14/12/20 with the total sum from both the community and the savings account deposited into the community account at this time. Overall for the year we are net positive of £8921.60 in the community account. Fees have been down this year by £540.37. NEF payments decreased by £5692.66 this year. Fundraising and donations have decreased this year by £1882.34. The account was boosted by the deposit of £19,336.22 from the savings account. Staff costs have decreased this year by £631.75, this is due to a decrease in staff. We maintained paying our staff throughout the pandemic and did not furlough anyone in accordance with government guidance. Associated training costs/subscriptions and resources have decreased this year by £1308.53. The rent and utility bills have increased by £540.95. The snack bill has increased by £80.18. Other expenditures including consumables have decreased by £947.63. £7000 was transferred to the savings account. Despite our expenditures this year the community account is net positive however this is largely due to having had our savings account to fall back on. This coming year there will be an increase to the overall staff bill due to rising wages and the return to our normal levels of spending incurred with the daily use of the pre-school. We should aim to achieve £10,000 in our savings account so that we are covered to pay for any un-expected future event, as without the buffer that we did have prior to the pandemic, it is highly probable that the pre-school would have had to close.
