RMVC Treasurer’s Report for Financial Year ended 31 July 2022
This report summarises the full financial year to 31/7/22. Please see Income & Expenditure summary for the year to Jull 22 for full financial details.
Income
Major income came from Subs (£6630), & payment for the Cornwall tour (£16670). Additionally, we had received £2500 in sponsorship/advertising for the Treorchy Concert which is kept separate in our savings account.
A significant boost to income is the Gift Aid refund from HMRC which was £1678.94
Income from concerts & Fund Raising
Concert Income
Abbey July 2021 £469.44 URC £938 Generations £945 Thornden £ 85.60 £2438
Donations/Raffles for Charity
URC - £362.56 - Foodbank
Christmas Raffle £220.00 - Romsey Young Carers
Thornden Raffle £140.10 - Naomi House
£722.66
Donations in respect of engagements
Springhill School £250 Owen Davies’ Funeral £200 Brian Stokes’ Funeral £300
£750
It is apparent from the above that our ability to generate gross income from activities has been severely curtailed, largely due to public apprehension about attending events during Covid.
Expenditure
Please see Income & Expenditure report for a full breakdown of expenditure. Aside from the Cornwall tour costs (£17638) and fees to our MDs and Accompanists (£8380), significant other costs were: -
Website upgrade and maintenance - £2444.19
Music Purchase - £1056.65
Venue Hire - £1133.20 (excluding where we receive net concert proceeds)
Additionally, we paid £2267.46 in donations to charities: -
- £ 507.46 Southampton Hospital Charities
£1000.00 Romsey Food Bank (Topping up URC concert surplus and collection)
- £ 540.00 Youth in Romsey (topping up to £1500 their bucket collection of £960)
£ 220.00 Romsey Young Carers
In view of the historically low level of funds raised from concerts, we felt it appropriate to supplement donations from choir funds to achieve a worthwhile donation.
Reserves
As a result of supressed concert income, whilst facing the necessity to fund exceptional projects to upgrade the website, refresh our music repertoire and library and subsidise the Cornwall trip, our reserves have fallen by more than half.
Funds held at start of financial year £8842.34
Funds held at end of Financial Year £4250.56
£4591.78
Additionally at the year-end we held £2500 in respect of Grants/Sponsorship for the Treorchy Concert
Subscriptions
The Baptist Church have recently increased our weekly hire charge by 150% to £50 per week, an increase of at least £1200 a year. All attempts to pursued them to mitigate this increase has been refused. We are currently looking at alternatives. However, we will inevitably have to pay more then in the past. In addition, many other costs have and will increase substantially. At the same time, our reserves have fallen by more than 50% in the last year due to the above-mentioned necessary expenditure and less concert income.
The Committee are therefore seeking an increase of subs to £15 per month to put our finances on a sustainable footing. This will be le first increase since December 2018.
