AGM – 21[st] November 2025 – Treasurer’s Report
Our main source of income is from members’ subscriptions, which is £6,151. However, offsetting this are resulting payments to the Third Age Trust; an affiliation fee of £2,208 covering advice and support, plus the cost of the magazine (TAM) of £1,072, along with support for Beacon (the Membership database) of £577 plus the siteworks of £50 (the U3A website).
As a Charity, we are able to claim Gift Aid refunds from HMRC based on subscriptions from members who have signed a Gift Aid form, which is a useful boost to our funds. This costs nothing to the members and the Treasurer does all the reclaiming work. If you pay income tax, then as a member of the H&W u3a you are eligible to allow us to reclaim tax on your behalf for the benefit for the group. A limited amount of personal information is required, and if you qualify and have not already done so, please contact the Membership Secretary who will provide you with a form, which is quite simple to complete.
We continue to make every effort to keep expenses as low as possible although we are faced with rising costs generally. We try to maintain written contact with our members during the year and have produced the news and events sheets. The use of electronic communications, when possible, keeps costs down. This is boosted by members reading the news sheet electronically rather than a hard copy.
Some Groups hire facilities to hold their meetings, which are paid directly by the group members. The Group Leaders are required to keep their own records of income and expenses, and my thanks to them for doing so. The results are included in these accounts in summary.
Overall, we have a surplus of £2,631 which increases our reserves to £19,563, and so I propose leaving the annual subscription at £10 – for the 15th year. We still have payments due to the Third Age Trust to cover including the affiliation fee. Members still receive 5 magazines per year. The committee agreed to keep a reserve fund of £10,000 to cover two years of expenses.
My thanks to Michael Robinson who has undertaken the role of Examiner and has agreed to do so next year. I propose that he is re-appointed.
