FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of the year
There was only one major items of expenditure during the year, as the PCC requested financial support for the repairs to the Chancel roof of the building. We have paid for the general church buildings insurance, Trustees Liability insurance and the CCLI copyright licence. The investments with the CCLA have seen an increase in interest rates over the last year, which has improved the Santander bank balance considerably. The Churchgate properties are fully occupied at this present time and providing some income.
