Following consultation with OSCR our accounts have been revised to include all of the subgroups operating under the charity's number and all receipts and payments for the subgroups are recorded in the Statement of Receipts and Payments. 

The Statement of Balances shows the bank balances of all of the subgroups. 

In the financial year 1* September 2024 to 31% August 2025 the total balance in the NVA Group's account increased from £33,976 to £39,550. 

This is a significant increase in funds, primarily from the hugely successful Skateraw Fair. Considering quarterly publication of The Newsey, which is provided to the community free of charge, ongoing inspection and maintenance of potentially life saving defibrillators, the hugely successful fireworks display complete with BBQ and tuck, the fantastic Santa Runs hugely enjoyed by the entire community and the free Christmas Party for children of the village, all managed and organised by trustees of the NVA and volunteers from the community we must consider the year a great success. 

And of course, the subgroups of the NVA, namely 200 Club, Skateraw Fair, Festive Lights and NEAT all provide enormous benefits to the village and community. All of our trustees, ably and willingly assisted by individuals and volunteer groups, particularly the Air Training Corp, have given up considerable time, raised funds and provided services and activities to benefit the community. 

The NVA bank account has been set up for online approvals. Any two of three designated trustees can approve payments. 

A has been registered with HMRC as a charity and is therefore eligible to claim Gift Aid.
