Treasurers Report 2022 for AGM
Give Us a Break started 2022 with a bank balance of £12948.26 plus cash in the tin of £90.00. The charities accounts appear annually on the charity commission website available for anyone to view. We previously have had our accounts and cash handling systems audited successfully and these procedures have remained the same. Very little cash handling now takes place as nearly all income and expenditure goes through paypal and online banking systems.
Income
During the year we had donations in of £8016.90, these come in from various sources. 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 2022 came in at an amount of £9591.20 including the £5524.00 towards the interactive OMI projector we purchased.
Fundraising came to £2887.59 this year.
Total income for 2022 was £20495.69
Expenditure
We spent a total of £17118.38 on venue hire and the running costs of activities. This is always our biggest outgoing expense. This figure includes hire of venues, hire of suppliers such as big top music, bubble lady, animal experiences, costs of hiring coaches, tickets purchased, swimming pools and snoezelon. It also includes purchase of items for activities like craft supplies, sensory items and gifts from santa.
Other expenditure came to £9610.19, this includes our liability insurance, stationery, printing, storage costs. This is a lot higher than previous years as it includes the cost of purchasing the projector.
Total Expenditure for 2022 was £26728.57. The closing bank balance was £6695.38 with £90.00 cash in the tin.
If we compare the accounts of 2021 to this year we can see there has been a rise in costs of expenditure relating to activities as we spent over £3000 more. Also if we take a look at the income, although it looks slightly more, income towards activities was actually less once you consider the grant for the projector is separate. Due to the closing bank balance being a lot less than previous years, the rising costs of activities as suppliers increase their costs, and funding is also harder to get in due to the cost of living crisis we have had to look at how we run going into 2023. The committee will be planning with this in mind, they will be reviewing all spending, activity costs and popularity of activities and considering how we move forward with charges for activities and getting in funding for 2023.
