Running A Chanty (P82)'. Finances For the first year in a long time, y￿ ended our financial year with a surplus to reinvest in our charity. Major constituents of this were a generous exit grant from Tudor Twst, who had prewously backed our brokerage service in Thanel for three years, a one-off recouping of hLStori¢ Glft AMI and, at long last, being able to obtain a reasonable level of bank interest on our funds. Grant funding continues to be the prmnary source of income that enables us to do the good work we do supporting communities. And we are hugely grateful to our funders.

The Garfield Weston Foundation again granted us a generous award to be able to continue our work.
