Aehievemen15 andPerfornEunce
This year trading activity generated £35,877, which represents a 19.550/0 incrvdse over the previous year.
Expenses rose to around £12,000 compared to approx. £1 1,000 in the previous year. Donations amounted to a
to¢al of £21.630. ¢ompar¢d with £18,000 the previous year. Beneficiarie5 were reviewed by Truste¢s and are
largely similar to the previous year, as still deemed aligned with the charitable object5.
Income rose thanks to an ever-growing team of dedicated local volllnteers. allowing to open the shop most d&ys
of the year, which greatly Conlribules to its success. Our core opening hours of I lam to 5pTn are supplemented
with som¢ oc¢asional early or late openings, driven by some corn￿]tted volunteers for whom core hours would
not be possible. This also allows the shop to be part of the more activ¢ early evening scene of the
neighbourhood, with more new cafes and reslaurants all Contributing to an incr¢as¢d adivity and footfall in the
area.
Volume and quality of donations has remained high. More regular culls led by the volunt¢ers allow for a more
r¢gu18rly r¢newed stock which is particularly attractive to regular customers.
Internet sales have also more than quadrupled, thanks to 2 dedicated volunteers, l of whom previous
prof¢ssional experience as a rare book dealer allows a fast and accurate identification of valuable books that
can find a happy owner online.
