Financial Review
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 financial position at the end of the period
Profits this year of £6618.71, has brought up our cash total to a similar level as held in the previous year after a large deficit last year. Due to large increases in the minimum wage and NI contribution a costing exercise was completed, this lead the committee to increase the fees from £4 and hour to £5 a hour this is still a
| £1 an hour below the funded price as we contnue to try and keeps costs a low as possible for parents. Several fundraising events were completed to help raise funds and to also raise publicity for the Cylch. |
