National Civilian WW2 Memorial Trust
Treasurer’s report 1[st] April 2020 to 31[st] March 2021
In common with most charities, the Trust’s fundraising activities in the April2020 to March 2021 financial year have been severely limited by the Covid19 Pandemic. All our usual activities had to be cancelled. For that reason, figures are not comparable with previous years.
Income:
Because we were not attending events or giving talks etc, income from memberships and donations was much reduced to £45. We have launched a membership and renewal drive, see Secretary’s report.
We had one fundraising event, a yard sale in the Avenues in August 2020 which raised £68 .
Sale of bags : Just before the pandemic struck last year, we had bought a stock of 100 bags with our NPT logo on. We advertised them on facebook etc and 22 bags have been sold raising £113.
Sale of plants :[on facebook] £20.
Sale of books: was income from previous year, paid in this year, £25
Amazon: have left Easyfundraising and set up their own system for donating to charities earning us £5 this year.
Expenditure:
Printing: £10 for a notice to go on the site when structural consolidation work started, to explain what was happening.
Insurance: [for year 2019/20] £150. The insurance policy has been cancelled for the time being.
Contribution towards project costs: £3500 [First instalment of the £7000 we are committed to pay; the NLHF has agreed to our paying this in 2 instalments].
Specialist report on repair options for concrete beams on the site: £1344 [The architect’s plans included removal of the concrete beams which supported the gallery and repositioning them on the ground, for safety reasons. The Trust felt these beams helped tell the story of why people survived the bomb without injury and wanted to preserve them in situ if at all possible. Historic England agreed with this view. We needed to know whether saving them would be possible and needed to commission an urgent specialist report. At the time we had no option but to pay from the Trust’s funds but are investigating other funding].
Balance in bank at year end: £ 3641
[£3,500 of this is reserved towards the project, leaving only £141.]
We applied for a grant of £689 in October 2020 from the Hull and East Riding Charitable Trust to cover the costs of putting on future events to engage and inform the public in the civilian experience of WW2 and preservation of the NPT, but were unsuccessful.
We are currently waiting for the decision of NLHF about the second round of funding; we should hear during May 2021.
We urgently need people to renew their memberships [£8; £5 for under 26 or over 65; add £5 or £3 for a partner at same address.]. Donations would be very welcome.
Bank details are: Yorkshire Bank, Hull Central, Sort Code: 05-05-05; Account number 25906709; Account in the name of National Civilian WW2 Memorial Trust [NCWW2MT].
[Yorkshire Bank is now part of Virgin Money but we understand that the account details will stay the same for the time being.]
