Treasurer’s Report for AGM – February 27[th] 2025
Wild Marlow once again generated a surplus in the year. For 2024, the figure was £2335. This arose from Income of £8420 and Expenditure of £6084.
There were three main sources of Income : Membership (£2138), Donations (£3300), Events & Sales (£2982). No Grants were received during the year.
There were five elements of Expenditure: Projects (£839), Purchases for Resale (£1884), Donations (£1745), Promotion (£1423), and Overheads (£193).
Two of the 4 key projects started in 2023 continued in 2024: The Vole Project funded by Thames Water and The Marlow Fire Station Project funded by Bucks CC.
Wild Marlow’s biennial Photo Competition ran throughout the year. The resultant calendar was responsible for the vast majority of Events and Sales revenue and Purchases for Resale expenditure.
A single donation of £1745 was made in support of Save Marlow’s Greenbelt’s defence of the decision to refuse planning permission to Marlow Film Studios. Wild Marlow’s donation was used to help cover legal costs in the Public Inquiry which has just ended. This donation was covered in full by personal contributions from individual trustees.
The majority of Promotion expenditure was again on the new website, which was launched during the year, to expand its capabilities.
At the end of the year, Wild Marlow’s bank balance stood at £9692.
