MO asked whether we are likely to start the next financial year with a similar balance to that of last year (£23k). DD explained that that balance was leftover funds from the Three-Peaks Challenge which have now been spent.
LC explained that our usual operating expenses are around £4k. We have c. £3k in the current account and £2k in a reserve account (for emergencies only). LC added that in January, once the finances have been finalised we are likely to be able to offer the school c. £6k to spend.
