**FRESH WATERS CHRISTIAN CHARITY SHOP TRUSTEE REPORT APRIL 2024- MARCH 2025** **Reg Charity no 1202664** **We as Trustees of Fresh Waters Christian Charity shop are very pleased with how our second year as a Charity has gone. We are still being very well supported both by goods into the charity and our customer base is growing. As we are only a small independent charity and not part of a larger organisation, we are pleased with what we have achieved this year. We believe firmly in establishing a rapport with our customers who we come to look on as** **As well as having our main shop we also still have our furniture warehouse where we are able to offer the public furniture at very reasonable prices. We have undertaken many house clearances this year many of them from people who have recommended us for being punctual, polite and always willing to go that extra mile, we believe that customer service is our key word.** **We as Trustees take our Trusteeship very seriously and all work very closely together and we are all committed to the charity.** **We are also very excited about a new venture which we have just undertaken and that is the opening of a pop- up shop in our local shopping centre. This is very good for us as it puts us right in the middle of things in the town and has had a very good initial response. It is always exciting to try new ventures and we thank God for this opportunity which we have been given and look forward in anticipation to how this will develop** **We are very thankful that once again we have been able to support Samaritans Purse and send donations to buy bio- water filters which can be used in areas where bore holes etc cannot be used. We thank God that through our participation in this project we have helped many lives to be saved and it is very sad that in this day and age that there is still water poverty.** **We have also been instrumental in again helping people who have none or very little furniture due to circumstances in many cases beyond their control, we either donate the items or supply them at a very low cost. Nowadays people are unable to just go out and buy new furniture especially if they are just starting out or have just left an abusive relationship and we feel fortunate that we are able to help out** **We also would like to pay tribute to all our volunteers who work tirelessly for the charity and without these selfless unpaid people we would not be able to achieve all the things that we do.** **We pray that 2025-2026 by the grace of God will see our charity achieve even greater things than it has done this year.** **21-23 BRIDGE STREET REG CHARITY No. 1202664 KEIGHLEY BD21 1AA** **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2024-2025 YEAR END 31/03/2025 INCOME SHEET 1 SHOP SALES Bric-a Brac etc 8,950.33 Clothes 2,286.45 Staff Sales 394.50 Warehouse 5893.79 Donations + Jars etc 118.21 Sub Total 1 £18,439.28 BOOK ROOM SALES Books, Videos, DVD’s 2324.41 Rags for year 838.74 Gifts for Year +Tithes for year 1384.18 Warehouse 13,999.48 Antique Centre 843.05 Pop up Shop 4,508.55** **Sub Total 2 £23, 898.41** ## **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2023-2024 INCOME SHEET 2** **Collected Deliveries for year 1347.55 Gift for Van 1100.00 Sub Total 3 £2,477.55 Total for Year** **Sub Total 1 £18,439.28 Sub Total 2 £23, 898.41 Sub Total 3 £2,477.55 Total for Year £45,270.64 Cash in hand Brought Forward from Year 2022-2023 £682.70 Total £45,953.34** **;** ## **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2024- 2025 YEAR END 31/03/25 SPENDINGS SHEET 1** **Rent 53 weeks @ £60 3,180-00 Warehouse rent including back rent 11,500.00 Council Tax and Water Rates 723.85 Shop Electric for Year 1,496.40 Insurance Contents Shop & Warehouse 397.10 Window Cleaner 234.00 Fire Extinguishers 63.00 Shop supplies 50.02 C.C.TV 150.00 Fixtures and Fittings, drill bits, screws etc 40.00 Samaritans Purse bio-water filters 12,000.00 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 Viking Supplies 73.78 Sum up fees 544.22 Car park fee 170.00 Keighley Bid 142.25 Auction Sales 305.84 Pop up shop Rent 100.00** ## **FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR 2024-2025 SPENDINGS SHEET 2** **SHOP VAN: M.O.T and Repairs 3516.97 Van signs 420.00 Van Tax 335.00 RAC 45.00 Vans Insurances 759.49 Fuel for Deliveries for year 1740.00 Car Park fees @ £20 per month 340.00 Sub Total 2 £7156.46 Sub Total Page 1 £48,491.19 Sub Total Page 2 £7,156.46 Total for Year £55,647.65** **FRESH WATERS CHRISTIAN CHARITY SHOP TRUSTEE REPORT APRIL 2024- MARCH 2025** **Reg Charity no 1202664** **We as Trustees of Fresh Waters Christian Charity shop are very pleased with how our second year as a Charity has gone.
