DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIESAND ACHIEVEMENTS It is disappointing to note that the expectats.on of Lrfecraft taking over the lease of The Bath House is still not complete. It should have been done from the end of September 2024 but over a year later w8 Still wait for Cambridge City Council to complete the legal work This has meant that the rent income and lease costs have had to remain 8S they were. and the utility costs remain within this charity, all other costs for building maintenance have been met by Lifecraft, The council and Lifecraft have still to confirm the annual rent. In the year income reduced to £27,500 (£32,029} and expenditure reduced to £31,154 (£35,249). Unrestricted funds now stand at £20,949. It is genuinely hoped that the lease transfer will be completed by tha end of the current financial year, and that the charty ¢an be wound up by 31st March 2026. As ever, the trustees are grateful to the centre manager for his work in looking after the building. This report was approved by the trustees on 14 January 2026 and signed on thelr behalf. TRUSTEE
