• ACCOUNTS: Example below:
INCOMES : This year, we did receive funding from our events and online donations £3,313

Audited Accounts : Given the actual state of our financial situation, we are not able to provide an account prepared by a professional accountant as requested by the charity law, so following on the lower income for this year, we have been able to prepare a breakdown of income and expenditure made by the treasurer of the organization.
