Our biggest fundraising event was the Beer festival which raised £6,965.23. The firework display is an event provided for the town people to allow a safe and inexpensive way to participate in the tradition and it is not seen as a profit making event. However the high attendance provided a net profit of £3,454.27. Due to lower membership numbers our Santa’s Sleigh event was completed in partnership with another local charity group. We achieved a small profit of £868.70. Due to low membership available resource has been significantly reduced. Partnership working with other local charity and volunteer groups has enabled us to continue our main activities. However, a long term effect is that we have mothballed our catering unit. High insurance costs also had an impact in making this decision. We have worked with Barton Rotary Club, Barrow Meridian Rotary Club, Ropewalk Volunteers, Friends of the Barton Line and local businesses in sharing support and staffing of events and activities. ## **INCOME AND EXPENDITURE – YEAR ENDING 10[th] April 2023** Barton upon Humber Lions accounts were audited on 30[th] September 2023 by Wrights, Certified Chartered Accountants and are available for viewing on the Charity Commission website.
