**Trustee Report Fresh Waters Christian Charity Shop April 2023- March 2024 Reg Charity no 1202664 This is the first year’s report of our Charity and it has been a very exciting first year for us. The Trustees are very pleased with how this first year has gone. We have had an increase in goods donated and have done quite a few house clearances. We have achieved a very good reputation in the area for quality and fairness.** **As Trustees we work very closely together and we are all 100% committed to the work of Fresh Waters.** **We were very sad in February to announce the death of the founder of Fresh Waters, Christopher Kounnas who was also the Chair of Trustees and also the Treasurer. His death was very sudden and was a great shock to us all at Fresh Waters and left a very big gap in our Charity. How-ever we now have a new chair of Trustees who is also the Treasurer.** **We feel that this year as a very small independent Charity that we have achieved a great deal and for this we do Praise God who is a very important part of our Charity and we do not take anything for granted.** **This year we have been pleased to have been able to send money to Samaritans Purse for the purchase of bio- water filters and help towards other water projects in countries where there is not access to clean drinking water.** **We have also been able to help our local community by supplying them with good quality furniture, beds and white goods at reasonable realistic prices and also where necessary donating goods to families and individuals in need and struggling. Some of these people have been fleeing from domestic violence and have had to set up home again without anything other people have just come into this country.** **As a small Charity we are very aware of finance and the people who volunteer at Fresh Waters are not paid and do it because they believe in the Charity so we do not have a massive wages bill.** **As Trustees we are greatly looking forward to our second year as a Charity and we are all trusting that the Lord will increase us in every way both financially and by providing us with many more volunteers.** **21-23 BRIDGE STREET REG CHARITY No. 1202664 KEIGHLEY BD21 1AA** ## **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2023-2024 YEAR END 31/03/2024 INCOME SHEET 1** **SHOP SALES Bric-a Brac etc 9,218.85 Clothes 3,720.82 Staff Sales 848.50 Warehouse 5374.32 Donations + Jars etc 224.06 Sub Total 1 £19,456.60 BOOK ROOM SALES Books, Videos, DVD’s 3583.17 Rags for year 1007.36 Gifts for Year +Tithes for year 3120.00 Warehouse 14,318.72 Ziffit books sold internet 194.31 Vinted 20.00 Scrap 93.80 Rag Books 118.79** **Sub Total 2 £22, 832.15** ## **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2023-2024 INCOME SHEET 2** **Collected Deliveries for year 1627.05 Gift for Van 450.00 Sub Total 3 £2077.05 Total for Year Sub Total 1 £19,456.60 Sub Total 2 £22,832.15 Sub Total 3 £2077.05 Total for Year £44,295.80 Cash in hand Brought Forward from Year 2022-2023 £682.70 Total £44,978.50** **;** **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2023- 2024 YEAR END 31/03/24 SPENDINGS SHEET 1** **Rent 53 weeks @ £60 3,180-00 Council Tax and Water Rates 669.56 Shop Electric for Year 1,496.40 Insurance Contents Shop & Warehouse 397.10 Window Cleaner 234.00 Fire Extinguishers 480.00 Shop supplies 50.02 C.C.TV 600.00 Fixtures and Fittings, drill bits, screws etc 40.00 Samaritans Purse bio-water filters 1200.00 H.P ink jet +printing 20.00 Miscellaneous inc tea, coffee, sugar, milk etc 118.41 Telephone and broadband 532.32 Luke Ferrey for Deliveries 53 weeks 13,250.00 Christmas Meal and Special gifts 850-00 Tip Charges 113.84 Fence 1193.14 Viking Supplies 73.78 Sum up fees 284.22** **Sub Total 1 £35,582.82** ## **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2023-2024 SPENDINGS SHEET 2** **SHOP VAN: M.O.T and Repairs 1345.00 Van Tax 293.33 RAC 45.00 Vans Insurances 759.49 Fuel for Deliveries for year 1440.00 Car Park fees @ £20 per month 340.00** **Sub Total 2 £ 4222.82** **Sub Total Page 1 £35,582.82 Sub Total Page 2 £4,222.82 Total for Year £39,805.64** **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2023-2024** ## **BANK SHEET VIRGIN MONEY CURRENT ACCOUNT** **Bank Sheet Virgin Bank Current Account OPEN CLOSE MOVEMENT £30,179.78 £39,560.85 + £9381.07 Total Money in Bank carried forward to year 2019-2020 £39,560.85 CASH IN HAND CARREID FORWARD TO 2024-2025 £33.14** **Trustee Report Fresh Waters Christian Charity Shop April 2023- March 2024 Reg Charity no 1202664 This is the first year’s report of our Charity and it has been a very exciting first year for us.
