Treasurer’s report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
The 2024 financial year has been similar to 2023. Lettings are the main source of the chapel’s income as in prior years. The rent from the parsonage was £31,500. Room lettings have increased by £2,502 in the year to £21,024(2023 £18,522). An average of £1,752 per month is received from lettings of the school rooms. Brass Band Concert for Xmas made a profit of £781.
The donations received were higher than last year, this year £2,043 (2023 was £1,379.) No grant was received from Manchester District Association this year, last year £2000 was received.
Legacy received in the year was £15,000 which really helped the finances of the chapel.
Maintenance costs for the chapel were lower than the previous year at £2,544. Other maintenance costs for the school rooms were also lower than the previous year at £780.(£3,543 2023)
I would like to thank Frank Drainey for all his support and all the extra help he continues to give in the role of honorary treasurer.
