Flnanclal Revlew
We tran￿110n¢d to a commercial packay for tr•¢kirwJ our finws (ExpengePlus) mid Ilnanclal
year (MarchlAprll 2024). AII trms years receiplB and transactions aro now maintained ele(knnlcally,
and ExpensePlus uses Open Banklng to dlreth connect to our bank accounts. This has
ellminated time consuming manual dats entry, and improved our processes. Trans￿oning from
paper and spreadsheets to an integrated online system was not without its th811on908, but ri haB
made management of donors and Gift Aid 8Anpl8r 8nd more accurate.
Our furKls havè been boo8ted this year as we sponsored the creatK>n of a rthv Llons branch
{Saltash-Tamar) in May. Thls has temporarily brought in 20 rnembers and additional incorne
designated for the use of the Saltash-Tamar branch. Vth8n this branch Is lormalty recognised as
charty in fts own rlght and has its own bank accounl (expected by DecMnbar 2025), the balance of
the Saltash-Tamar funds will be tran8f8rred over, rostoring OLf flnaneial baLances to 8 more usual
level. Support of the branch dub flnances would have been much more c￿plIcated viithout
ExpensePIus.
A "Suspense Ac£ounf fund was temporarity created to track membership subs that were paid
early (in the wrong financial yoarl from the new incoming Saltash-Tamar branch members. This
fvnd VAII be closed out next financi81 year when the Saltash-Tamar branch becomes autonomous.
The Charity is dependent on fvTrJrassiThJ. Our currart finonrial P)Sition is sound, huwew. the
Trustees recognise that as expenses rlse subslartially. the challenge is to maintain and increase

income so that donations are as generous as possib
