Treasurers Q4 Report (year end 30 June 2015)
At the end of our financial year and, subject to audit, expenditure was £58,042, and income £69,794. The Balance sheet increased to £74,174.
The surplus of £11,752 is almost entirely from revenue received in this final quarter – a £3,700 legacy, and proceeds from two intrepid fund raisers. This places BTW in a stronger position to better manage future demands and, 5 weeks into this new financial year, we have needed £1,500 from it.
Expenditure
- Kennelling remained our largest single expense at £37,944 for 104 dogs = 65% of expenditure.
- Veterinary care for 47 dogs came to £9,805 = 17%
- Moving 120 dogs cost £6,612 = 11%
- Administration, Insurance, Event costs and Stock (calendar) purchase £3680 = 6%
Income
- Income directly from re-homing 120 dogs came to £17,266 = 25%
- Other donations were £34,623 = 50%
- This includes £8,056 from three challenges
Nicola Cameron’s 500 mile ‘George Square to Glasgow Green’ completed last October
Paul Duce’s ‘16 European countries in a week’ motor-bike ordeal, and
Adrian Hollier’s Lands’ End to John ‘O’ Groats cycle attempt - Also included is £2,657 from the London rep’s collections made at Charlton’s ‘Pets at Home’ store. Borderfest (Midlands), the AGM and Mid-Year Woodmansterne events contributed £2,525 (4%).
- Sales of our BTW calendar and donated goods together made £6,606 (9%) and include some greatly appreciated, and admired, hand-made craft pieces from generous donors in both Somerset and South Wales.
- Finally Legacy and Memorial donations added £4,744 (7%), Gift Aid £3,767 (5%), and Interest £580 (1%). This last illustrates the effect that the continuing low Bank of England interest rates have on our reserves.
