FY2024

Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit of £2,845 for the year ended 31 December 2024, primarily due to rising utility costs. Despite this, the trustees report that income and expenditure were otherwise well controlled, and the charity maintains unrestricted reserves of £142,962, which the committee considers sufficient to cover two years of ordinary running costs.

Automated summary of the FY2024 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: two years ordinary running costs (held: £143k)
“The Reserves for the Unrestricted Funds as at 31st December 2024 were £142,962 (2023: £141,431). This figure represents two years ordinary running costs.”
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Payments to trustees: Mrs S. Bishop, a member of the Management Committee, received £1,193 in remuneration. Ms Teresa Edwards received £1,908 but is not listed as a Management Committee member in the administrative details, though she served as Treasurer.
“No members of the Management Committee received any remuneration in the year, with the exception of Mrs S. Bishop, Treasurer for the period January – March and November December 2024, who received £1,193” — page 15
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The Treasurer, Mrs S. Bishop, is a member of the Management Committee (appointed by the Town Council) and received remuneration of £1,193.
“No members of the Management Committee received any remuneration in the year, with the exception of Mrs S. Bishop, Treasurer for the period January – March and November December 2024, who received £1,193” — page 15
“No members of the Management Committee received any remuneration in the year, with the exception of Mrs S. Bishop, Treasurer for the period January – March and November December 2024, who received £1,193, and Ms Teresa Edwards, Treasurer for the period April – October 2024, who received £1,908” — page 15
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The Treasurer, Ms Teresa Edwards, received remuneration of £1,908. While not explicitly stated as a committee member in the remuneration note, the context of 'Treasurer costs' and committee structure implies a related party relationship or close connection, but strictly based on the text, she is a paid employee. The prompt asks for related party transactions. The Town Council is the clear related party. The Treasurer is an employee. Is the Treasurer a trustee? The list of committee members does not list the Treasurer as a trustee, but as staff. However, Note 7 says 'No members of the Management Committee received any remuneration... with the exception of Mrs S. Bishop'. This implies Mrs Bishop IS a member of the Management Committee. Ms Edwards is not listed as a committee member in the 'Reference and Administrative Details' section, but was Treasurer. The text says 'No payments were made to Trustees (2022: Nil)' but then lists payments to Bishop and Edwards. This is a contradiction or clarification that they are not Trustees but are paid. However, Mrs Bishop IS a committee member. So that is a related party transaction.
