The Community Group has been self-funding again for this year. Therefore there has been no requirement to seek grants from external bodies such as Nottingham City Council.

Funding has come from two main sources:

- Raffles/Tombolas at specific events, the main one being the Open Gardens

- Specific Donation from The Rotary Club of Trent Bridge

The main expenditure has been:

- Public liability insurance, since the group was concerned that they weren’t covered for public meetings and events. This shouldn’t be required next year since Nottingham City Council Housing Group is aiming to provide a group insurance for all Residents and Tenants Associations.

- Printing of newsletters to keep residents informed about the group’s activities.

In addition, the Community Group organized the Open Gardens event in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. This raised £1,133.65 which was immediately donated to the charity.

The accounts were audited by Deborah Rivers A.C.M.A. and a full copy is available if required.

It is proposed that Deborah Rivers is appointed to audit the accounts for the year ending 31^st March 2006.
