Mark asked to t ransfer £1,840 00 f. rom CFB 2 Restricted Funds, to Lloyds Account. Payment agreed for repairs. Reimburse for new doors at Woods, and doors repaired at Central and TWC.
The Assessment Charge for September 2021 – August 2022 is;£16,092 00. which is down f rom this year, which is £16,284 00.
The assessment charge comes out of the CFB unrestricted account. For the coming year, it would be £4023 00 pe. r quarter. However, in the fnancial interests of the accounts, I have changed the Standing O rder rf om a quarterly payment, to a monthly payment £1341 00. . This has been done to ease the fnances. Also to note, that the Circuit T reasurer has been notifed and he is ok with the new a rrangement made. Gift aid has come back f rom last year.
Room hire coming back slowly for TWC, Daycare hopefully will start again at the beginning of September to start paying rent again. There is about £30,000 in the account as reserves.
