Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | At £25,556 the charity’s income and expenditure is £1,149 higher than in the previous year. This reflects the resumption of the principal fund raising activities (Regattas) as well as a significant increase in individual donations. The resumption of competitive rowiing was reflected in higher race entries revenue (and costs). The Charity focused on ensuring the provision of support to enable young adults to continue to row and to increase the amount of funding from grant making bodies There was no repeat of the Emergency Lottery funding of £10,000 from the previous year and the charity made a £14,000 contribution to the set up costs of our delivery partner, Team Keane’s, new rowing base in Brentford |
