Notes to Accounts
As this was our 20 Annivew year certain Expendi￿re streams were
higher than previous years e.g. Postage, Marketing, S(Kial, Fundraising
however Income received fron] son]e of these sources (Fundraisin
Merchandise, Ticket Sales) balanced these out partially.
A Grant of £1500 was received from National Lottery which funded some
of the expenditure for the 20 Anniversary ConcerL We were also
fortunate to be able to purchase a new electric piano with a Grant from the
Carnegie Trust.
