Parochial Church Council of Thundersley
Treasurerfs Report for the year ended 31" December 2023.
These have been examlned by the PCC appointed Independent Examiner, Mr
Graham Dorrington, and his report is attached herewlth. Due to our turnover,
under the Charltles ACL these accounts are able to be formulated on a
Receipts and Payments basis. The General Fund deals With the running of both
churches and both church halls and the Parish office.
2023 has seen a contlnued steady recovery from the effects of the Pandeml¢.
St Peterfs have seen an approximate 20% increase in new people attending
services. Our halls are fully open. Some small group users have been unable to
contlnue hlrlng the halls due to falling members, probably due to the Cost of
Llvln8 Issues that everyone is facin8. Fuel bills continue to tske up a large
proportion of expendlture. Heatln& lightln& insuring and malntalnln8 our 2
churches, both halls, the Parish Office, John Pond Room and St Mlchael's
Community Room are a major part of our expenditure as shown In the
enclosed General Fund Income & Expendlture figures.
The Parlsh Share sum requested was £ 81775 we managed to pay a totsl of
£65000.00 towards thls bein& 79.48 % of the sum requested and £lO,OCMJ
more than wa5 pald last year.
On behalf of the PCC, I wlsh to thank everyone for their 8eneroslty In 8lvSng
flnanclal support to the Parish, for everyone's fundfalsln8 efforts, our Hall
Lettings Officers and for all the hard work whlch goes on behlnd the Kenes.
With God's help, workin8 together to seThe HIM, the Communlty and one
another, we can 8row and thrive.
Don't forget to use the Glft Aid Scheme for your donations...IY5 free money
from the Governmentl I Please ask for detsils.
