Grant applications have been received and grants were made in January 2024.
There were receipts of £7,892 in the period (2022 : £6,145). The net income, before grants, was £5,388 (2022: £4,249).
The charity made grants to Wiltshire Air Ambulance (£625) to provide ambulance support across Wiltshire, Village Hall (£625) for an environmental survey, Friends of Acorns Pre-school (£1,875) for outdoor equipment and Friends of Christian Malford Primary School (£905) for outdoor equipment and storage .
3. Review of financial position
The charity holds cash of £6,658 (2022: £5,300) as unrestricted funds. The funds will provide working capital for the Scarecrow trail in 2023 and will be used for grants for community projects. The charity has sufficient funds to meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
