TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 - continued

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The income of the Church arises principally from voluntary donations by members. Net incoming resources for the year, as shown on page 6, amounted to £98,520 made up of £2,990 from funds restricted for purposes specified by the donors and £95,530 of funds for use at the Church's discretion. The reserves policy of the trustees is to maintain sufficient funds for the ongoing activities of the Church. The normal fluctuations in income and expenditure indicate reserves for this purpose equal to the 3 months of the unrestricted resources expended, which equates to £22,065. Unrestricted funds at 31 December 2022 are greater than this amounting to £27,080. The trustees are monitoring the financial situation.

11 Fixed Assets These have not been disclosed in the PCC balance sheet as the true valuation of assets needs further consideration by the PCC.

Church Hall - Building Cost unknown, replacement value for insurance purposes £655,000.

Church Hall - Contents, Church hall equipment/improvements have been written off in the year of purchase. Although there is considerabie value in property controlled by the PCC it should be recognised that these market values could not be realised, as the assets are essential to the workings of the Parish, and if disposed of would need to be replaced at an equivalent cost. Other furniture, fixtures and fittings, church office equipment/churchyard equipment have been written off in the corresponding year of purchase.
