## **FISH VOLUNTEER CENTRE (Reg. Charity No. 1189325) Treasurer’s Report 2022-23**
**For the period April 2022 – March 2023**
FISH Volunteer Centre, charity number 1189325, is an incorporated charity with a gross income of less that £250,000 per annum. The annual accounts are reported as Receipts and Payments with a year-end assets and liabilities statement.
## **INCOME**
During 2022-2023 the income was £60,021.61. This is approximately 5% higher than the previous year 2021-2022 where the income was £57,410.
Most of this increase came from an increase in minibus income from £7862 (2021-2022) to £11,569 (2022-2023). This was mainly as a result of more fares and use of more SODC bus passes as COVID restrictions ceased.
The car driving income was steady at £7712 for the year; compared with £8804, £7,900 and £8,261 in previous years.
As in previous years a large part of our income came from donations.
With no funds in a savings account there was no bank interest. A new investment account was set up in April 2023 with the United Trust Bank.
**PAYMENTS** for the year were £17,023.76, £3,037.52 (15%) less than the previous year total of £20,061.28.
The only staff costs to pay were very small as we no longer employ an office manager. This led to a saving of £2943.64.
Miscellaneous items costs include two new wheelchairs and a vacuum cleaner. We have also purchased two new computers and headsets, and a new storage cupboard.
The resulting **SURPLUS** for the year April 2022 – March 2023 was £42,997.85.
The bank balance at the end of the year was £126,921.73 with petty cash of £405.
This allows **RESERVES** as follows: New minibus Reserve: £65,000; IT Reserve: £15,000; and an Operational Reserve of £10,000. This leaves £37,442 in the general fund.
## **NOTES**
In May 2023 we submitted our accounts to HMRC at their request.
We are in the process of applying for Gift Aid.
In 2023-24 there are plans for a new financial and data record system, but no other major outgoings are currently being considered
