Treasurers Report

Year ended 31% March 2024

It gives me great pleasure to present my report for the past financial year.

Total receipts for the year were £28,324 compared with £7259 for the previous year. Expenditure totalled £68,389 compared with £10,916 for the year before. These figures include funding and grants, then payments towards the Jetty/Pontoon project. There is also payments for roof and property repairs, with a grant and insurance claim included. This leaves the unit with closing balances totalling £23.739 at the yearend giving a reduction of £40,066.

Items of note come as ever from our team of “Roadies” who have again helped generate income from the local Choral Societies by taking care of the staging. This year gave a total £1160, made from Arun Choral, and Angmering Chorale and the Leconfield Singers all contributed.

Sums were also received from East Preston Festival £250 and another £250 from Littlehampton Town Show. Just Giving helped produce a further £322, £250 was raised through Coffee morning, and £458 came through Armed Forces Day.

Cadets subs produced £3,813 up again on the previous year from £3654. reflecting a very healthy sign of attendance levels.
