As a matter of due diligence at the end of every year the volunteers are all asked if they would like to continue or move on. ## **Finances** Finances are raised by Donations that are made to the charity ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The financial statements show that we received a total income of £51,612 of which £29,543 was unrestricted funds and £22,069 was restricted funds. Our total income for the year increased by £7,114 from 2021. Factors affecting income include the following: - A general increase in donations to the Charity in the year despite current economic constraints. - The Affiliate program decreased significantly by £495 and Vision Development Program VDP slightly decreased by £5. Affiliate program ended mid-year hence the decrease. Despite slight dip in VDP, we did however gain new participants joining the program thus replacing those who graduated. - Expenditure increased significantly by £10,276 due do increase in Ministerial Allowances, Ministering Tools & Gifts, General Business expenses and travel costs. Significant increase was mainly in Ministerial Allowances which increased by £5,109 from the previous year. Ministerial Allowances include Minister's parsonage and associated bills which covered a full year of expenses which also increased towards the end of the year due to change of parsonage for Reverend Valarie to a new location. There were no office rental costs in 2022 as the new parsonage had adequate room for office, ministerial work space as well as storage. Despite the increase in expenses, we were still able to carry forward positive reserves of £11,367 at the end of the year which was a great and positive achievement. Overall, we have achieved our financial objective to increase general funds to the charity, to obtain positive reserves in the year, as well as to meet our governing objective to support individuals in their pursuit of purpose and personal development in Christ. We aim to increase VDP subscriptions and to do more retreats and events in the forthcoming year. As covid restrictions are no longer in effect, we expect bigger turnouts to events and retreats. Regarding the future, we still intend to register for gift aid, which will help build the charity’s reserves further to promote growth. We will also continue to investigate other fundraising channels and activities to allow us to grow as a charity to effectively run, improve and expand activities and programs to cater to the community. ## **TRUSTEES** Rev.Valerie Elyott FROM 03 March 2014 TO PRESENT Sheila Willard FROM 03 March 2014 TO PRESENT Shola Akingbala FROM 01 January 2018 TO PRESENT Caleb Bowtah FROM 3 March 2019 TO PRESENT Adenrele Odiaka FROM 28 May 2019 TO PRESENT ## **PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS** **BANK** : LLOYDS TSB **BOOK KEEPING SERVICES** : GOLD ARROW CONSULTANCY **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER:** TIMI AND CO The Charity Registration Number is :. 1159926 The Elyott Generation Report and Accounts 31 December 2022 THE ELYOTh GENERATION Report and accounts Contents Page Charity Information Independent Examiners, report Statement of Financial Activities Balance sheet Notes/Schedules to the financial statements THE ELYOTh GENERATION Charity Infomiation Trustees Valerie Elliot Adenrele Odiaka Caleb Newton Shola Akingbala Christabel Oparah Independent Examiner Daniel Dele-ojo Timi and Co.
