manag8able levels within thè overall out tum for the year. There has been some syn of
inllationary pressures on our overh&8ds in 2023 (and Ql 2022), and we expect this to
continue through 2024. This had an effect on our development costs, howèver carefijl
budgeting and focused out tum resulted in a posltive year end.
There was some st8ff tumover towards Ihe end of the year that requlred cargful management
of specialist roles. We engaged the services of 8n Independent Reglstrar and now have a
staff team with the appropriate skills and qualiTKations to undertake the c￿e lUnCtu￿ of

In sum, carefvl budget Man8￿ment has rnsulted in a £37K surplus outtwn in 2023 and

NRCPD has managèd to spend more on charitable 8Gtivity whilst also malntaining an inflalion-
