## **Financial Review**
|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|In summary our income has increased by £4.8k
comparing the fgure of £55.6k this
fnancial year to last year’s fgure of £50.8k.
Our increase in income can be
summarised by the below movements:
• £2.8k: the main running income of the centre
which I would consider to be the
private hire, weekly hire and community café
has increased by £2.8k since last
year with the biggest increase seen in the
private hire income. The centre has
been notceably busier with private bookings
over the past year.
• £1.2k: the fundraising eforts of the centre
have increased our income year on
year by £600. There was also another £600
donated to the centre from the Eye
Festval, which was intended to be used to
sponsor a partcular actvity / event,
however this has not yet been agreed..
Going through the other items in the income,
our Eyescan income has increased to
£5,536, meaning this income comfortably
covers our expenses of printng the
magazine. This has been helped by chasing
some of the debts earlier in the fnancial
year.
Our expenses have decreased by £1.6k
comparing the fgure of £51.2k this fnancial
year to last year’s fgure of £52.8k. We have
had savings in wage payments and our utlity
expenses is showing as decreasing between the
years, mainly due to a VAT reclaim and being in
a positon to lower our direct debit. Please
note, we only changed our contract with
EON to take advantage of lower rates in late
January of this year (2025)
Our other expenses aren’t too dissimilar from
last year and are in line with what one
would expect with prices increasing. Our
renewals are slightly higher this year due to
the alarm renewal which we didn’t have to pay
as high a charge last year due to the
service we received. Our PPL/PRS licence was
also higher this year due to this
payment being based on income.
