FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financlal posltion
2023 was a year of consL4idation and inveslmenl lor the future. Tlie Projecl Fund received a legacy of £125k
which enabled certain 'eco' projects lo be undertaken. notably the insiallab'on ol solar panels on the Sl
George'.q roof ènd an air sourced heat pump at Bramley Way as part of its gener81 refurbishment.
Th8 lègacy has somewhat dis9U15ed a 5% fall in G&n9ral Fund giwng from £745k in 2022 to £71 Ok in 2023.
This ronecls the present &corM)mic cycle and the Iinandal dlffiojl￿eS facing so many. As the economy
