36% of income came from donations, totalling £1,085 (57% for World Values Day), significantly up on last year
23% of UK Values Alliance expenditure was on website maintenance, less than half last year’s cost due to the move to WP Maintain
73% of UK Values Alliance expenditure was on admin support slightly up on last year, plus 3% cost of paypal fees, due to increase in online donations
There was a surplus of £595 within the 12 month period although this amount is due to be paid our to the social media team, so a small deficit of £25 is the reality
Organisational Membership fees have boosted income but members not paying renewal fees continues to cause reduced income throughout the year.

Brief highlights were given of World Values Day, as this was being covered in more detail in the following meeting.
The financial position of the UK Values Alliance was presented with a summary Income and Expenditure handed out. It was noted that this is the first year that the UK Values Alliance has covered its costs. Thanks were given for the donations made to both the UK Values Alliance and also World Values Day following Maureen’s appeal.
It was noted that we now have 12 Organisational Members and this membership income have significantly contributed to income. The issue of members being slow to renew was highlighted again this year and the impact it has on cash flow. There is currently a problem with paypal, once resolved final reminders will be sent. RP suggested members pay direct to the bank account, to avoid paypal fees.
