projects undertaken and will keep sufficient funds to at least meet its next
three months’ expected expenditures. It does not aim to build up
substantial reserves at this stage of its operations.| |---|---| ||None| ||**(Optional information)**| ||Total funds raised in the period were £2,190, including £274 from Gift
Aid.
Funds were raised from donations, mainly by members of Chorus of
Dissent and their friends and families, including donations of performance
fees relating to a Chorus of Dissent concert totalling £240.
Expenditure on projects was £5,000 for the St Matthias School outdoor
creativity and arts project
Administrative costs were £139, corresponding to bank fees and the
CAFDonate platform including Gift Aid administration. As this was
covered by trustees’ contributions during the year, all funds raised from
other donors were used towards our projects.
The charity had a cash balance of £2,424 on 31 Aug 2021, compared to
£5,373 the year before. This reflects the trustees’ decision to spend
funds on a project that we were able to identify in the knowledge that
there may not be opportunities to restart normal activities for some time.| ## **Section F Other optional information** March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Nicolas Johnson **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Chair **etc) Date** 16 February 2022 March **2012** **TAR** 6 **Charity Name Dissenters N16 Community Arts** **No (if any) 1172761** ## **Receipts and payments accounts** ## **CC16a** **For the period** Period start date Period end date **To from** 01-Sep-20 31-Aug-21 ## **Section A Receipts and payments** |**A1 Receipts**|**Unrestricted**
