Financial Review 2023/24 For the financial yeai etKled 31st March 2024. the Management Fee received from the CounGiI Gontinu es to be a key. source ot funding for Vision.

This irtrease vias mainly dtse to the CPI ol 10.1% compafed to tht previous year of 3.1%, although in reality there is a lag to the inflation being applied and this has proved to be a challenge to in keeping pace with inflation piessurets. The Management Fee ill increase in line with September CPI of 6.7% in 2024/25. The total Customer income generated from Oire¢t Services in 2023/24 wats 92,498.000. This was a significant increase froffl the previous year which generated £10. 229,000. The increased iThcome is ettributable to a rise in tees and charges to refleci Ihe rillg cosis of service delivery and volume growth. Furthermore, Hainault Forest cafè. which had a full year of operation. added ovei E700.000 to the revenue lines.
