Expenditure

Total expenditure in 2006/07 was £30 million of which £23 million was spent on our charitable activities.

Voluntary income rose to £22.7 million, an increase of 8.6% on the previous year's figure of £20.9 million. The largest income rise was, as expected, in the contract income area although voluntary income remained the main source of funds at 73% total income.
