Please Note

Opening balance for the period of £0.00 is due to ongoing issues, with opening a new bank account, this was due to the pandemic backlog.

We have had to bank using the old charity Golliwopsie Playgroup 1036495 which has remained open for this purpose.

A new bank account is now open, and all remaining funds have been transferred to this charities account. This has taken time to achieve, as we needed all relevant people/organisations to change their payment details, before checking that the old account was not receiving any monies before it closed.

When we have filed the final accounts and reports with the Charity Commission the old charity will be closed.
