P. 20

Having volunteered to take up the role of Treasurer in July 2021 I must firstly and most
          importantly acknowledge and thank Judith Leggat for her continued support to me throughout
          the year. She has maintained the records, guided me and explained all the complications that
          goes with being a Treasurer. I would not have been able to contribute as much as I have to this
          role and the other working groups that I sit on without her active support.



                    The accounts for BPW UK show income of £6493 and expenditure of £4489 resulting in a
          surplus of £2004. Income was less than last year because the membership renewal fee was set
          at £60. Expenditure was much lower than budgeted as a result of no face to face FEC and ex-
          ternal meetings. However the BPW International Congress and the European President meet-
          ings were hybrid with only the International Congress charging a fee.

                    A very big thank you to all the members who donated a total of £794 towards the run-
          ning costs of the organisation.

                    A total of £120 was sent to the Members Emergency Fund.



                    On the expenses side we received notification that our bank HSBC would be introducing
          business banking fees on our Treasurer’s account so the FEC took the decision to move banks.
          Lloyds was selected as the most cost effective for our banking needs and the main funds were
          transferred during November with a small balance left at HSBC so any renewals in January that
          are received can be transferred across easily rather than being returned and being resent. We

          have renewed our Zoom subscription as this is essential for our operation and Areas and Work-
          ing Groups have also made use of it.

                    The membership as at 31  December 2021 was 86 made up of 85 full members and 1
          student which is a reduction on the previous year’s total. 7 members ceased to be members
          during the year and 5 new members joined.

                    FEC meetings have continued throughout the year by Zoom.
                    Debtors and Prepayments consist of outstanding membership fees and the element of
                                                st
          insurance that is prepaid up until 1  March 2022. Creditors and accruals are MEF donations not
          paid over by the end of December.
