Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s fnancial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | We are now in a much stronger and more stable fnancial position from when the current Unit Management Team took ofce. We secured an income of £51,961 which is largely as a result of £36,387 awarded in various Grants, from both government and specifc community bodies. Income elsewhere has reduced due to lack of sea cadet activity and fundraising events. Largest expenses were in equipment such as a new Sea bin, which was grant funded, and Information Technology improvements to the unit to support more interactive learning. |
