## **Treasurer’s report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024** 

The 2024 financial year has been similar to 2023. Lettings are the main source of the chapel’s income as in prior years. The rent from the parsonage was £31,500. Room lettings have increased by £2,502 in the year to £21,024(2023 £18,522). An average of £1,752 per month is received from lettings of the school rooms.  Brass Band Concert for Xmas made a profit of £781. 

The donations received were higher than last year, this year £2,043 (2023 was £1,379.)  No grant was received from Manchester District Association this year, last year £2000 was received. 

Legacy received in the year was £15,000 which really helped the finances of the chapel. 

Maintenance costs for the chapel were lower than the previous year at £2,544. Other maintenance costs for the school rooms were also lower than the previous year at £780.(£3,543 2023) 

I would like to thank Frank Drainey for all his support and all the extra help he continues to give in the role of honorary treasurer.

rtto
The Trustees of Dunham Road Unitarian Cha
el Altrincham
I report on the Financial Statements of the Trust for the y&qr ended 3 1st December 2024.
Respethe responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees ar¢ r¢sponsible for the PT¢paration of the a¢￿V￿ts. The ckwity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of th¢ Cl]arities Act 2011
(the Charities Act) and that an independent examinatson is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
eramine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities ACL
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5Xb) of the Clwities Act. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attentio
b)
Basis of independent esaminer's statement
My exaMin￿On was ¢arrieAI out in acwrdan¢e with G¢neral Directions given by the Charity
Con)mIssio￿ An exaMI￿tion includes a review ofthe accounting records kcpt by the Charities
and a comparison of the accounts pres¢nted with those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounty and seeking explanations from the Trustees
concerning any such matters. The proCedU￿S undthaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be r¢quired in an audi( and cons¢quently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair, view and the ￿port is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent ExamiDer's Statement
In connection with my emm1￿0￿ no matter has come to my attention:
(i)
which gives me r&qsonable &wse to believe that any material resrt the
requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of th¢ Charities ACL. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting reqUiren￿nts of the Clwities Act have not been mel or
b)
(ll)
to which in my opinion attention should be drawn in Order to ¢nable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
