What the accounts disclose
“Our letting revenue normally covers overheads and general expenses.”
“Management costs have always been free by using the time and commitment of a dedicated team of volunteers.” — page 2
“The independent examination produced two accounting observations. i) The summary of Bank Statements is missing statement 56 period ending the last few days of August 2024. This shows income of £165.00 is missing and expenditure of £599.83 is missing. This will need correcting. ii) The income received total on bank statement 60 period ending November 2024 is incorrect. It should be £4338.25 not £4438.25.” — page 8
