## **Treasurers Report 2020** Give Us a Break started 2020 with a bank balance of £10794.29 plus cash in the tin of £90.00. The charity has continued to gain new members and although this year we couldn’t offer activities after February safely due to covid restrictions we continued to support our families on facebook, through emails,during Christmas with Santa visits and offering sensory packs. Cash at activities that are pay on the day smaller values are taken and recorded on signing in sheets signed by the member paying and then it is transferred onto the petty cash sheet signed by door person, which is balanced, signed off and banked by the treasurer. Payments are also taken via paypal, for pay in advance events. The committee all agree and review cash handling procedure. We previously have had our accounts and cash handling systems audited successfully and these procedures have remained the same. We aim to offer family activities to children with the most complex and challenging behaviour, providing opportunities and support. ## **Income** During the year we had donations in of £3014.48, these come in from various sources. As expected this has fallen this year due to covid. Most of the donations come in from our members themselves when they attend events. The charity also received some regular monthly donations from supporters. Grants for 2019 came in at an amount of £0. We did not get any grant funding in this year but this is also as some we had will be going through in next year because funding we did have for trips will go ahead once covid restrictions allow. Fundraising bought in £2478.72 this year. This amount includes money from collecting tins, donations from our families who fundraised, from our supporters shopping on amazon, from asda and the rotary club, and st barts church. We continue to also be supported by Thornes Solicitors. Total income for 2020 was £5493.20 ## **Expenditure** We spent a total of £3955.44 on venue hire and activities. This is usually our biggest cost and would be four times that but as a charity covid has meant we could not hire venues. During 2020 most of the expendure has been on providing sensory bags for our families. Other expenditure came to £549.71, this includes, insurance, stationery, printing, topping up the charities mobile telephone, storage costs, laptop security software, postage costs. Total Expenditure for 2020 was £4505.15, again a lot less than in previous years due to the impact of covid. The closing bank balance was £11782.34 with £90.00 cash in the tin.
