Fundraislng actlvltles
The charity is truly grateful to so manywho have contributed to it, be that by making grants
available to us, donations from visitors, helping at events both in 8nd away from the
Centre. The charity's fund raising continues to be very well supported by local community
businesses including pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and local groupslclubs. There has
been a steady flow of donations and support from all areas resulting in a successful year
forthe charity. It has allowed the charity to expand its opening time to 5 days a week.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Prlnclpal fundlng source
The charity's ongoing SOLirrp,.g nf inp,nmA r.r)mft8 from grants, donations from individuals,
businesses and those with an interest in supporting those with breast cancer. The income
is supplemented by regular givi ng, many fund-raising activities and events, plus additional
f unds received through gift-aid claimed on appropriate gifts.
Reserves pollcy
The Trustees aim to maintain a reserve equivalent to three months running cost, and this
continues to be in place. Add itionally, it has continued to be the policy of the trustees to
operate the charity on a year-on-year break even basis. The res8rve t)uilt up in the past
years has been both sensible and prudent in view of the current financial circumstances.
This will continue to be the aim. We are aware that as the Centre reaches its 15 year,
many of the origin81 fixtures and fittings may need replacing. We are costing these in 2025
to allow suff icient reserves going forward.
CURRENT UPDATE
The day-to-day responsibilities of the Centre have been taken on by Jo Gallier, Trustee and
our Centre Director. Her passion to keep the Centre running eff iciently, as well as growing
to suit the needs of our Ioc81 community, are clear for all to see. The Primrose Centre goes
from strength to strength and serves an ever-incre8sing number of visitors every month. We
have a strong Board of Trustees, a dedicated team of volunteers and a taLented mix of paid
therapists, Together we are takingthe Primrose Centre into the future- it is an honour and a
pleasure to look after th818gacy the late Mary Spinks has left us.
