ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
2023
Servlees were fully back to normal in 2023, and onlifje Services continued as they ere useful to people
who find it physically difficult to get to church, as well as permitting people around the world to watch
we know there are some in the U.S., for exarnple.
Many activities and events took place which are detailed in the separate booklet of Annual Parish
Reports.
Although finances remain tight. the Parish was able to pay its Parish Share in full for the second year
running. Small surpluses were reported.. El,233 on Unrestricted Funds and £2,875 Dn Restrlcied
Funds.
Unre5tritted income of É143,196 was some £6,500 higher than in 2022. Room hire was up by £5,000,
statutory Fees li.e. Weddings, Funerals etc) by £3,500 and smaller areas by net £2,800. These
increases were offset by falls in Giving to the Parish including Gift Aid of £800, and In Activities for
generating funds of £4,000. See Notc 7a.
Unrestricted expenditure of £141.963 was some £10,000 higher than in 2022. A full analysis is at Note

The bill for past usage of ga5 at one of the churches which was mentloned In last year's Report and
Accounts has not yet materialised but may still do so.
Reserves Policy
Unrestricted reserves at 3151 December 2023 were £9,938 including £1,000 in Designated Reserves.
This represents les5 than I rnonth of the Unrestricted expenditure reported for 2023. The Parish aims
to increase this level of reserves.

The rnain threat to the Parish's ongoing financial security is the lack of reserves to pay for unexpected
building costs.

were continued thmughout the year. All mandatory inspections with respett to building* fire, elertrical,
gas, safety and operation; including portable appliance testing, were completed during the year.
Financial management and recording procedures aim to prevent, or mlnlmlse. fraud in this area.
The promotion of the safety, health protection of children, youths and vulnerable adults is
extrcmely important to the PCC. Parish policy in this area embodies a formal child protection and
vulnerable adult policy following Diocesan guidelines. This pollcy 15 emphatlcally enforced, as well as
reviewed regularly.

4. At 31st December 2023, there was an unquantifled Ilablllty for gas used but not Involced at one of the
churche5. and it is prudent to consider that It may be matorial. Thls came about due to the meter there
being broken. We are In dlscu5sions with the gas provider about the Ilablllty.
S. The expenses paid to clergy may include a small immaterial proportion, which relates to their fvnrtion as

The rnost slgnificant threat to the long term vlablllty of the pa￿Sh 15 the tsck of r￿erVeS to fvnd repairs to the parlsh bulldlngs.
In order to addre55 ih15 rlsk the PCC prevlously designated two funds. A'gener￿1 maintenance, fund to hold monles put aside for
the upkeep Df the church bulldlngs and their churchyards and a'rectory dllapidatior¥s' fund to pay for ￿¢tOrY upkeep.
The general rna1ntenan￿ fund was exhausted at the end of 2022. The sJfplu5 on the General Fund ￿ported for 2023 Is n(st large
enough to rnake a useful transfer to the general malntenanTr fund. Church maintenance is also funded throuoh the use of
restriited funds. Although the PCC èlms to ensure that restricted fund5 are werved for Improvetnent rather than general
malntenance costs this Is not always pu551ble. Any maintenance that cannot be funded uslng the ￿￿[￿nated and restritted funds
