- 9 The centre's bank account was frozen by NatWest for several months during the year as a result of a change in trustees.  During this time payments and receipts were made using the St Margaret's Church accounts.  As a thank you to the church, a one-off payment of £2,000 was given to the church.  A further £1,992 payment was made in error and paid back from the church account on 30th December but was not received into the centre account until January 2023. 

- 10 Three payments from the St Margaret's Church account paid at the end of December were not received into the centre account until January 2023.  Old Trafford Community Church payments were made from St Margaret's Church in September but never received: this is due to be paid by NatWest in 2023.  There is also an outstanding invoice not yet received from the Scouts: payment was possibly attempted during the period when  the centre bank account was frozen.
