## **Notes:**
## **1)**
Utilities cost is not a true cost due to a re-bill for FY22/23 which will be charged to the account in FY23/24. Expected additonal payment of £3500
## **2)**
Business rates were not included for FY22/23 due to application for rate relief. If refused, charge will impact FY23/24. Apllication for relief from rates this FY is also under consideration. Accounts for FY23/24 could then included two separate business rate charges.
## **3)**
All payments will increase next FY as the Charity will be operational for a full 12 months and the program of activities expands. The Charity also expects cost increases of between 6-8% in all areas due to continued inflation
## **4)**
