## **VRA Treasurer’s Report 2021**
As of December 31[st ] 2021, our current balance was £48,4857.63, consisting of
£21,080.10 in our informal reserves,
£1,056.46 in our conference savings account (used in the Together Conference), and
£26,321.07 in our Current account.
## **Income and Expenditure**
Overall, 2021 revenue was similar to 2020. Memberships were slightly down year on year, possibly a result of economic changes in the UK, offset by funds received in Q4 for a new project the VRA is undertaking for the DWP.
Despite relatively stable income, the VRA is in a much-improved situation at the end of 2021 when compared with the previous year. Our financial position overall improved primarily due to reduced expenses – we incurred very little expense for managing our website, and operations costs were significantly lower.
_Notes: Income and expenditure are reported on a cash basis – i.e. as received and spent, rather than when they are incurred. While our net income for the year on this basis was £17,129, this did not take into account approximately £6,400 of 2021 invoices that were processed in January 2022, and will be reflected in the 2022 report._
