In the year under review. income decreased by 1.40/9 whilst expenditure incrwed by I1.5Q/o. The decrease in tn¢ome was prkm&ily because of a drop in legacy income which decreased by £475L This loss was offsel however, by a wth in tiading income of £209K The increL8e in expenditure was mainly due to an increase in the nurnber of staff 8nd all increase in direct fim<traising costs. tncome from donations aDd gifts increased fronl £426,821 in 2022123 to £477,832.
