Other donations received 405,00 785,00 TOTAL INCOME 7840,41 4131,48 2015 2016 (Not the) Braderie 3322,61 370,76 -89% Christmas market 1012,80 775,72 -23% Old Catholic Church 600,00 0,00 Pentecostal church 2500,00 2200,00 -12% Other donations received 405,00 785,00 94% TOTAL INCOME 7840,41 4131,48 -47% Note loss of income from Braderie Even Christmas market took less, but maybe because of crush, eg couldn’t reach mulled wine. Next year, organise differently, also provide non-alcoholic version Old Catholics, they gave money but it was paid into CCL account Pentecostal church donations catch up arrived in 2017

EXPENDITURE 2015 2016 Donations 7217,70 6014,60 Insurance 129,80 -17% Insurance 129,80 131,98 2% Costs linked to events 416,05 393,53 -5% Admin costs 0,00 Bank charges 59,33 42,36 -29% TOTAL EXPENDITURE 7822,88 6582,47 -16% In 2016 paid out 6014,60 in donations and £FC has spoken to you about the organisations we are able to support. Donations are calculated on the income from the preceding year .It should be noted that we changed the accounting system last year, to make sure that we were calculating the amount correctly so the amount donated in 2016 was based on income in 2015, income to the church and to Solidarité together. Also, during 2015, we made an additional €500 in-year donation on top of the amount calculated for giving. Other costs are not high. Costs linked to events includes about 100€ for start-up money for the church café, which is now auto-financing, and some things like paper cups for the Braderie which we still have in stock, so not wasted. Most of the costs in 2015 were linked to material for the Braderie, of course.

2015 2016 BALANCE IN HAND 395,72 -2450,85 Bank account 1 January 3059,11 7127,59 31 December 4676,74 So the balance in hand comes out as a negative figure, because we paid out more than we received in during the year. But of course we had money in the bank account. However, as you will see, the amount of money available in the bank account in January 2017, to pay donations based on income in 2016, is much lower than it should be. We will therefore only be able to pay out what money we have got. The committee met in February and have decided how best to allocate this amount.
