FINANCIALREVIEW

For the year ended 31/08/2021 the charity had an income over expenditure surplusof £13,939 (2021) compared to £12,168.00(2020), the surplusiscarried forward to next year to further fund the charities objectives.

The followingare the principal risksfacingthe charity:

The rent of the premisesisdue to rise after alongperiod remainingflat

The principal source of fundscomesKent County Council and thiswas50%of annual income in the period ended 31/08/2021.

PLANSFORFUTUREPERIODS

Our main concern for the near future isrisingcostsagainst stagnant revenues. Kent county council fundingis unlikely to keep up with the rampant inflation we see today. It isone of our main aimsto provide affordable childcare and thisalso putsalimit on how far we can push up the parent contributions(we do not want to add to the cost of livingcrisisif we can help it). Our rent hasremained static for many yearsnow, though it is hard to market test the unusual space we inhabit. We do not see any other major financial issueson the horizon.
