During the year, N&DCFR spent £1,604.70. We spent £498 on PPE to ensure colleagues had the appropriate level of protection, £640 on Thermo Lens, and £202 on uniform. We had miscellaneous spends throughout the year on small items of equipment.

## **Summary of Accounts 01.07.2023 – December 2023** 

The N&DCRF expenditure this year has been £608, with a professional item of £1063 to be accounted for, making a total of £1,671, predominantly uniform, with an income of £136.50, leaving a balance of £13,595 and reserves of £10,174.82. 

## **Commentary** 

Over the last three years the financial position of N&DCFR has remained strong, with carefully managed expenditure, focussed on essential uniform and equipment, with a small amount of funds coming from two sources, Newark & District Lottery and Amazon Charitable Trust. 

We are acutely aware that whilst current account and reserves remains healthy, and able to support up to fifteen operational officers, N&DFCR will this year need to seek further sources of funding. It has been agreed by the committee that we will focus on: - 

1. Just Giving. We are aware that many of those people we support, and the wider community might want to make contributions to help sustain the service we offer. This fiscal year action will be taken to launch and market a Just Giving site aligned with our existing Web Pages and 



2. Funding Streams. The treasurer, supported by colleagues has agreed to seek capital funding for uniform and equipment expenditure. Our intention is to conduct a needs analysis across uniform and equipment and seek ‘one off’ funding to support procurement. 

I offer this report as a fair and accurate summary of the financial accounts of N&DCFR.
