Newport U3A
Treasurer’s Report 2022/3
This has again been an unusual year and it is difficult to make long term comparisons on the accounts. As circumstances are settling down, we are expecting a more stable situation in the coming year.
Our biggest unexpected costs this year have arisen from us having to decamp from Shaftesbury Street Church to the Dolman Theatre. Last year we had thought a move was likely, and we had started investigating affordable alternatives. We were very fortunate to secure the Dolman Theatre at a rental that we could afford, and the move came in under budget. Expenditure on the move included installing AV equipment in the main rooms and fitting out the storeroom and kitchen areas to give us the facilities that we needed.
Firstly, to explain the main changes in numbers from last year’s accounts:
-
following a significantly reduced membership fee last year, membership income reverted to its more usual value;
-
the gift-aid tax refund for this and the previous year were received during the year;
-
we were awarded grants by Newport City Council for purifying fans and by the People’s Postcode Lottery for trips, speakers and miscellaneous equipment. A large proportion of this has been spent and the details are shown in these lines;
-
income, and corresponding outgoings, from activities has picked up, with group trips and theatre visits seeing the biggest increases;
-
overall our income was £47k;
-
outgoings are correspondingly up at nearly £39k with major increases being in rent (though last year was for part of the year) and the one-off move costs; and
-
the café is proving successful and popular.
We remain in a sound financial position, and one that stands us in good stead for the future. Our reserves will give us some protection against the currently high inflation rate, allow us to expand the scope of our activities, improve facilities and, most importantly, keep any rises in membership fee to a minimum.
My term as Treasurer is limited to 5 years and next year will be my fifth year, so if anyone is interested in taking over as Treasurer from next year, I will be happy to explain what is involved in the role.
If you have any questions on the accounts, I will be happy to answer them.
Richard Baines
Treasurer
