Financial Statements for the Year ended 31 December 2024 Financial Summary The accountsfor2024show thatfor the 12 months to the end ofDecember therewasa surplus on the parish accountsof£5,154before taking account ofthe movement in value ofthe endowment investments. A gain on the valuation of the investmentsof£2,312resulted in an overall surplus of £7,467. Detailed explanation of the full year results Income from unrestricted funds was above expectations mainly due to a successful trading year for the parish hall which made a surplus of £12,300. This together with income earned on designated funds offset the shortfall of £8,224 on the General fund. The figure for planned giving is very encouraging and l am grateful to all those who give regularly. During the year the parish joined the Parish Giving Scheme IPGSI and many donors switched to paying by direct debit. The PGS transfers donationsto the parish monthly along with the related gift aid claimed from HMRC. There is no cost to the parish of belonging to the PGS and it saves on work for the treasurer as well as the stewardship officer. The Parish Hall had another successful year with income totalling £30,42512023 £26,778) mainly from regular hi rers as we have reduced the number of casual bookings. The hall is now nearly fully booked by a range of local community organisations reflectingthe efforts of the parish hall management team. General fund costs of £125,194 are £6,277 higher than 2023 mainly due to a significantly higher contribution to Diocesan funds while most other costs have increased although church running costs and maintenance costs are lower. The lime trees in Church Green were cut back at the beginning of 2024 at a cost of £4,500. During the year the parish made a donation of £450 to Macmillan Cancer Support from Pilgrims Pantry as well as donations to various wildlife charities and charities helping the local community from funds raised by the clothes swap events and hakvest collections. We have also made substantial donations of groceries to Medway Foodbank. Reserves Unrestricted cash reserves available to spend now increased by some £10,840 to £70,415. These are available to cover future costs of repairs and maintenance to our churches and parish hall as well as future shortfalls in income. It is the PCC'S policy to maintain unrestricted reseNes sufficient to fund three months expenditure. The Parish holds £5,654 of restricted reserves and £123,964 of endowment reserves. Funds not required immediately are invested in either the Diocesan General Deposit Account, the CBF Church of England Deposit fund, the CBF Church of England Investment Fund or the COIF Investment Fund managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd.
