FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The school went back tg a S day week this year following the Increased length 13St year lor the 75th ann￿verSary week.
The increase in fees by the c￿ was è whopping 16 25% which me3nt we had to adjust our tickct prices accordinglv.
Early 8ird price was set at £750. with lull price tickers being £775. Thi5 was an increase of £16.84 per riight lor full
price and £17.50 per night lor early bird price. These were the big£e5t price rises we have seen for a number of years.
but thankfully they didn't deter deltgates frorn attendin8. Tlie eiid of School feedback wa5 that Ihe dele8ates thought
that Swanwick was Still very good vèlue for money in compar150n to other events of a similar nature across the UK.
As mentioned above, we had taken the precaution of reducing our contracted room bookin8 Wlth the Haves.
owever, as the Sales po.riod progressed it was clear that we would need to Increase our room numbers if possible.
The Hèye5 were very supportive in allowing u5 to do this With the final total ol room5 bein8 Octupled bein% 188.
Income from our various activities wa5 a5 follows,. 1.'I sessions brolight in £300,. the raffle prodU￿d £1229, a fantastic
increase of £237 on last year and the Book Shop generated £537. bolstered by some authors drjnèting their book sales
to the School.
The School ended the vear with a total funds at the bank of £41,491. The second deposit for the 2025 School WdS paid
alon8 Wlth the first deposit of £25,478 for 2026 and holdinE deposits ol £1,000 for 2027 and 2028 to secure date5. All
deposits are deducted from the fin31 invoices.
Funds raised through 'Friend5 of Swanwick, are treated as restricted reserves arid are identified separately in the
School's accounts to provide more transparency of purpose. The fund has continued to be essential in maintaining
finance for the Topwrite ai)d A55isied Places schemes through regu13r 3nd Dne-off donations alike. The Topwrite
Scheme has been popular and is handled by the School's Topwrite liaison but applications this year were a8ain fewer.
De5Plte difficulty in attr3Cting applications for Assisted Places, four were received 3nd all were successful, however,
oiie peisyii idncelle¢J due 10 ill ae31th ￿etter advertising and promotion ol this scheme is advised going forw3rd. The
lynd continues to support Topwrite and Assisted Places due mainly to generous donètions from 'Friends', both
regular and one-off, but bolstered by another donation Irorn Amazon Liter3ry Partnership IUKI1É2.0001. The niimber
of regular donor5 to 'Friends of Swanwick, fluctuates eaih year. At the end of the 2025 School financial year 30th
September, the fund stood at £4,334, up a thousand poundg on lèst year.
The School arrracts dele8ates from home and abroad. attendin8 from 13r and wide. This ye3r, there were seven
over5ea5 delÉgate5, coming from France, Swltzeiland, Ireland, Spain, Italy an¢ a Topwrite delegate tfom Lithuania.
We removed the ability to pay through the online booking system due to admin costs at the Ènd ol last year, although
it was still the most popular method ol booking. Payments were made as follows,. by bank tran5fer11371, standin8
order instalmpnt< IA91. chequès1201, and I by £ontactleAS.
Due to introducin8 Book Launches, which were held in è separate room to the Book Shop, we purchased a further
Sumup m3chin@ to strearnline the paying proce55. The Haye5 had boosted their Wi-Fi SIgnd￿ dif055 the venue which
enabled us to the take payments with no issues.
Thc online bankin8 facilities provided by tlie CAF Bank, Lld. contlnued to reduce the need tor wriiing cheques and
facilitates easier pèyment of invoices through bank transfers. Monthly account fees remained at £5 per account,
interest rates droppÈd twice during the year. Another benefit for the School is that a change of Treasurer does not
ean a cl)aii¥v vl Lidnk. A5 long as There Is proximiry to an ￿56c Dr RBS bank 3nd a Post Office, the handover onlv
requires a Mandate and associated transfer documents, not a change ol bank. The only ￿ssue with a completely online
bank is that depositing cash or cheques must be done through a third party who may changè their allegiance to CAF
Bank at any time.

THEWRITERS, SUMMERSCHOOL
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YÉAA ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The School's social networkini continued with the bi-monthlv electronic newsletter. reEular updates on Facebook and
Twitter 3nd ongoing review of content OD the website. The School's long-term association with Writing M3g32ine led
to a new agreement with them in regard to our ctsmrnitment to continue conventional advertlsing, maintaining the
School's lon8-Standin6 relationship with Warner Group PubliGations who provide a compeLirion priie place and
administrate all three annual competitions.
Reserves pollc¥
The School continue5 to face a number of financial risks and liabiliti&s'.
i. The CCT require5 a 5ubstantlal deposlt a year in advance of each School151nce 20161 which increased from io% to
20% in 2023, paid in two instalments. In 2024 thi5 changed again to a first 2(YA deposir ai lime ol bookin8 and 3
second 20% payrnent in February and was the same lor 2025 and as far as we £an see, lor the foreseeable future.
ii. The number of rnembefS varie5 each year. and Trustees are reminded that in order fof the School to remain vièble
we need to be able to m8iniain a reserve of E30.000.
iii. Some expendiiure. e £. advertising. honorari3. advance feÈ£ for th& Hayes (the School commits at least two years in
3dv3ncel. are Incurred beforÈ 3ny paym@nt is received for pl2ce5.
iv. If the School is to survive in the long-term, it will need to find other sourtes ol income that can be tapped into all
year round.
A combinètion of all these events 8rising. 3 reserve in excess of £45,000 would be the ideal and although the School
cknowledges Ihdt tliis level of r￿serV￿ 15 unlikEly to be required, it iciept5 thot the continued rise in costs currently
being felt the world over, rnay prompt rhe need to meet that figure sooner. lis aim, therefore, Is to maintain a
minimurn reserve of £40,000 in undesignated lund5 li.e. not dedicated to specific purposes) and review requirements
and possibiliiies year on year, Year-end 2025 was just short of the E40.000 m3rk by £2,843.
Contractual changes that CCT put in place have meant that the School must cornmit to paying a hi8her deposit earlier
than normal, plus an additional, ever increasing lee lor securing dates in subsequent years. Extensive negotiations
with CCT re8ardin8 this have been less than satisfactory with their requirement to pay the 20% deposit in one
Davment remainine. However. in actuality thev have been more flexible th3n expected. We will continue to negotiate
annually.
