Treasurers report
- running of Brecon Pride event from Brecon Town Council.
We started the year with £3,641.19 available to us, made up of dona:ons and grants applied for before we became a registered charity.
During the year we have raised £15,237.89. This has mostly come from:
Grants: £ 11,710.00 Stall fees: £ 1,100.00 Fundraising events: £ 862.41
A full breakdown of income follows in the accounts.
During the year we spent £ 9,753.95 This was made up of:
Admin £340.00 Capital £214.25 Pride event cost £7,844.19 Merch costs £1,355.51
This leaves us with a very healthy bank balance of £9,100.14.
It is the aim of Brecon Pride (and any charity of our type and size) to hold enough money in reserves to operate for the next period, in our case to pay for next year’s event. I am pleases to say that, although only at the end of our first full year of opera:on, we are close to achieving this.
However, this comes with a few small notes of cau:on for considera:on going forward.
-
One of our largest grants came from Welsh Government Grass Roots fund. This year the fund received 3x as many applica:ons as last year and not all applicants received the full amount asked for. We cannot rely on this level of funding in the future as it is expected to a\ract even more applica:ons as the number of pride events in Wales increases year on year.
-
expect to receive funding at that level again.
-
Dona:ons this year were very much down on the previous year
funding and we will need to find ways to increase dona:ons.
