## **Annual report for Chari�es Commission 2022 – 2023** 

The Financial report covers the accounts from September 2022 to August 2023 and have been prepared by Jennifer Sco�, our Finance Officer. 

## **Differences:** 

Receipts: - 

- Early Years’ Funding received from Wokingham Borough Council for eligible 3- and 4- year-olds went up a huge **£26,155.07** compared to last year. This is due to having many more child-hours on the register. 

- Fees paid (for any non-funded children or funded children a�ending extra hours) were also up by **£14,930.06** compared to last year. Also due to having more child-hours. 

- Early Years’ funding received from Wokingham Borough Council for eligible 2-year-olds reduced by **£2,656.46** . Having fewer younger children (2-year-olds) allows us to increase the number of children in a session, or have fewer staff available (as Ofsted Ra�os require more staff for 2-year-olds than 3- & 4-year-olds). 

- Income from admin fees went **up by nearly 80%** , the result of having more children on the register. 

- Our gi� aid claims went **up by 25%** . 

Payments: - 

- Salaries have reduced by **£10,682.45** . This is despite increases to the minimum wage and an increase in the number of children in each session. This reduc�on is partly due to cu�ng the number of staff available for se�ng up and packing away, a challenge with which the staff coped admirably. 

- Rent has increased by **£269.13** . 

- Expenses on consumables has increased, due to increased children in the se�ng, and increased food and materials costs. 

- The increased funds available allowed for the purchase of a much-needed new printer and some addi�onal Tuff trays. 

- you for their hard work during the financially challenging first half of the year. 

## **Possible challenges in 23-24** 

Increase in minimum wage: This is rising at a greater rate than we are receiving from the government for funding. This year it increased to £10.42 (from £9.50) and is expected to increase to £11.44 in April 2024. This will affect our working fund due to a significant increase in all salaries. 

Garden redesign: We are currently in the process of designing a new garden area for the children. This will come at significant cost but is long overdue and will much improve the setting. 

We will have a new fundraising team going forward from this AGM with their focus being on fundraising as much as possible, if you have any suggestions of fundraising ideas, please do let us know. 

Overall, our income was **£120,714.31** for the year and our expenditure was **£95,820.67.** Which means we underspent by **£24,893.64** . This is a fantastic achievement following the loss of a similar amount suffered last year.  Massive congratulations and thanks to the Pre-school aunties, officers, committee and parents for their hard work making this happen.
