Sources of income

Annual fundraising week with bake sales, quizzes, raffles and silent auctions.
-
Donations from organisations and the public, undertaking their own fundraising
-
In the reporting period, there is greater expenditure than income. Prior to registering with the charity commission and as a small charity, there was already a balance in the account to meet this expenditure and the account remains healthy.
Plans for the Future
- The charity has had a quiet accounting period due to limited grant making capacity amongst the trustees and committee members, who are all volunteers. The charity has a refreshed trustee structure and with that, brings the capacity to return to regular grant making.
