During this period we continued to pursue infrastructure projects to enhance the garden in keeping with our strategy to provide a benefit to the local community, with the help of Western Riverside. The significant purchases made during this period were a greenhouse, a woodchipper, bench, and skips. These purchases were made by Martin Y in advance of then
receiving the funds from WR. Hence the £2693.43 received from Groundwork London on £2693.43 was to cover some of the initial outlay made just prior to this period.
During this period we received £705 in membership subscriptions, and raised c. £450 from a succcessful open day.
Outlay included electricity, insurance, small work eg plumbing, and sundry items.
Overall the RCG continues to operate with a healthy balance, and always ensures it maintains enough funds to cover all predicted running costs.
There are no outstanding debts or monies owed to RCG, or owed by RCG to any other party.
