## **Treasurers Report** 

- End of year accounts have not been finalised.  Linda gave a brief outline of income for the year including: • £7000 fundraising 

- • £2000 overheads grant 

- • 22/23 has been the best financial year we have seen in a few years.  At the minute Linda and Denise are working on the projected figures for this year. EA have increased contributions and additional grants have been applied for to help with costs including John Moore grant.  Wages are slightly increased from last year but hopefully the grants will help.  Just been awarded extra funding to cover 1 member of staff. 



## **Leaders Report** 

Pamela read leaders report with a summary of each month, events which took place and fundraising activities.  Was a very successful year in terms of fundraising and staff and parents contributed greatly.  Fundraising target this year will be less. Instead of craft fair,  a bake sale and raffle will take place for Christmas.  Prizes would be greatly appreciated.
