## **Northern Pastures Preschool** 

## **Treasurer’s Report** 

## **Finances for the fnancial year 20-21** 

Overall, for the year ending 31[st] March 2021, Northern Pastures Preschool achieved a surplus of £11,410 meaning that the money coming into preschool was higher than what was spent by £11,410. Our spending was reduced greatly towards the end of the financial year due to the impending lockdown due to COVID-19. 

Preschool had a total income of £76,567 which was £15,938 less than the previous year. This was generated most from fees payable by parents, funding from the government and committee fundraising activities. 

The expenditure for the year has reduced by £15,520 to £65,156.73 in comparison to £80,677 last year. Wages have decreased by £4,483 to £49,359 compared to £53,842 last financial year. This was a result of reducing the staff hours due to Covid 19 

The committee made the decision that this was an essential cutback to keep the preschool going and staff members were happy to oblige. 

The expenditure on rent, insurance, toys etc were in line with last year, whilst expenditure on consumables was down in comparison to last year by approximately £2,332 

Due to lockdown, this meant that important events such as the easter bonnet parade and easter egg hunts could not go ahead again as planned, events which raise vital funds for the preschool. 

The unusual circumstances that the preschool has found itself in at the beginning of the financial year resulted in the committee and preschool staff working extremely hard to secure the financial future of the preschool which they have achieved resulting in a healthy surplus of £11,410. 

I have included a copy of the accounts with this report for your reference and an overview of our four bank accounts: 

- Fundraising account is solely for all our activity contributions and any form of fundraising received. Anything purchased with fundraising money is transferred to the current account. 

- Current account is for paying wages, utility bills, and the income of parent’s fees and funding. 

- Savings account is a contingency account for unexpected expenses and/or closure. We are required under the Charities Commission rules to keep sufficient funds in this account to cover redundancies in the event of the preschool having to close due to the circumstances beyond our control. At present, we have £10,418 and we are looking to increase that this year. This will need to be constantly monitored and reviewed by the committee. 



- Holding account is an account in which parent deposits are held until we can then transfer back into our account for the child’s final invoice payment. This was we are not at liberty to use the money and be left empty pocketed at the time of the invoice. It also currently houses the payment from the Coop funding until such a time we are able to utilise this.
