ADDENDUM TO FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS
It has to be noted that the followln8 NLT Grant Income should have been recelved by 30106124 but
payment was delayed:_
NLT Grant 22123-44 £2500.00 - received 25107124
NLT Grant 34C-04 £125(X).00 - received 12108124
This would have had the effect of increasing the charity's intome by £15(JXI.00 for the financial year
under review, ie a cumulative income figure of £138029.54.
