Amesbury History Centre CIO Registered Charity 1176636
Annual Report
Introduction
I have prepared without an independent check the financial statements covering the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 from the books and records of the Amesbury History Centre CIO (AHC). To the best of my knowledge and belief the financial statements recorded herein reflect a true account of the operating fiscal year 2021/22
Treasurer’s Report
This year has been very much like last year, as we have not had access to the building and continue to plan for the future without a huge amount going on in the accounts.
Income
We have been lucky enough to receive some donations through the year from individuals and local organisations. We have also had some membership income but the year overall was much quieter and so total income for the year was £1,507.39
Expenses
There haven’t been many expenses, £749.00 spent on solicitors’ fees with regards to the lease and securing the trade mark, £1760 in storage fees, £129.00 on an A3 portable scanner, £9.84 in Stripe fees and £297.70 on professional memberships.
Balance Sheet
We end the year with a deficit for the year of £1,499.35, £28,431.61 in the bank and £964.81 in inventory so our closing balance sheet figure is £29,396.42.
Conclusion
We still haven’t stopped planning and are in a great place to get working on the new building once the lease has been agreed and we are ready for the year ahead. We have adequate finances to get the lease finalised and to spend on assets and equipment to get the museum up and running in the first instance. The year ahead may be hard to predict and the first year of running the museum will no doubt bring more expenses than income, but we will be working hard to maintain stability within the accounts as we move forward so that we can effectively run the Amesbury History Centre for the benefit of the community.
