The trustee committee mern￿ers are
volunteers and claim no expenses or other
remuneration. They attend meetings,
organise and partlClP8te in fundraising lo
support the work of the setting aThJ enables
fees to be kept as low as possible.
The aclivitles organised by staff and
volunteers have maintained and raised the
profile of Timtin.
The staff are very dediealed to the setting
and also choose to give voluntary hours,
maintaining the setting and equipment,
completing paperwork for which there is no
time during the working day and generally
keeping the setting a place where children
love attending. They are often assisted by
their
artners and families.

Pala 1.21
Timtin's financial position has ￿mained
strong bul the situation is regularfy
monitored via Timtin management and
trustees a view lo forecast potential
future financial pressures. Longer lemi
budget forecasting continues lo be a priority
for the trustees lo ensure long lem financial
viability for the setting. There are some
h8llenges 0￿rating in a local authority
owned, ageing building With some costs
unfortunately falling lo Timlin to ensure the
setting is a safe environment for children,
staff and visitors.
Reserves have been maintsined despite
pressure on operating in an 8geing building
and need to allocate some funds for trNJilding
repairs.
Financial advice has indicated Timtin should
