Summer Fete 2011 Update

FETE PROCEEDS UPDATE 

We had a profit of £5,000 from the fete and this has been allocated as follows:

        Emergency Reserve - £1,000.00

        New Data Projector and Amplifier for services and outreach -  £1,200.00

        Outreach Reserve - £2,800.00 to  support initiatives such as “soup and sandwiches” and  bereavement training and other outreach activities.

This is encouraging as rather than just using the fete proceeds to pay the share we are actually able to use some of it to help others.
