There was a delay posting these online but the eagle eyed parishioners will have noticed the agendas were on the noticeboards last week.
Due to many misunderstandings, it has become clear that the document needed it’s headings updated so the items can accurately reflect where money has been spent.
The figures haven’t changed at all, just the headings, so hopefully will now be easier for everyone to see where the Trust money has been spent. We have added two headings ‘General Admin’ and a section for the ‘Woodland Walk’ in which was previously looped in with the Allotments however, for transparency, it now has its own section.
Budgets agreed at the meeting on the 18th of December 2024.
Please see attached for Decembers meeting. The agenda was posted on the noticeboards last week.
