Income lor the year amounted to £147,964 compared to £143,267 lor ihe previous ye)r. However, the incr¢ase of £4,697 is less favourable when we analyse the source5 of income. Standin8 Orders received during ihe year have held up well although the h-8ure shown of £69,469 15 down by El,128. As this source 91 Incorne represenis 75% of our regular income il Is essenttal that thi5 source remains reasonably consistent year on year $0 we can plan ahead. Other Qtferings have decreased by £989 to a ioial of £9,066. Alihough Gift Day donanons have increased, one off offerings hève decreased,. a decline which we have seen over the pa51 couple years. To oHset ihese decreases, we recelved legacies arnountin8 to £7,000 and a don3tSon amoundn8 to E I,O(K) from ihe family ol an attendee of the Memory Calè who died recenily.

Just 35 donattons for 2023 and 2024 are very similar, so are the amounts recovered on these donatlon5. Similar to other charities and organisadons, our exptnses have significantly in¢rea5ed during 2024.
