THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST. MARY'S BLETCHLEY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW Financlal position Income in 2025 of £478k amounts to a £40k increase over the Pr￿ year's figure of £438k or 99h. Regular giving and generous ong-off grfts were overall at a similar level to the prior year. The increase in income was entirely due lo additional grant income, in partieular from the Diocese of Oxford Minor Repairs & Improvernenls grant and their support support of Sl Joseph's and from Bucks Historic Churche5 Trust lowaids the cost of stonework on the tower. The Strategic Devekjpment Fund grant income conb.nues lo taper d¢)wn and wll finish completely al the end 012026. Expenditure of £476k is a £38k In¢￿aSe over the prior yearfs figure of £438k or 9%. This was duo in broadly equal measure to increased Parish Share, depreciation of assets and outreach projects. The net position for the year was essenti815y breakeven, and our total reserves 8re unchanged from last year. The last quinquennial review of the ¢hiJrch building h￿hlIghted significant stonework and other mainlenan¢o requirements and a program of stonemason's work is now underway. The upgrade of our sound and vision 8y5tems has been completed and has substantially enhanced the experience within the church as well as our online streaming of Servi￿$, enabling those unable lo attend in person to remain part of the church famity. We have a dedicated team l¢)oking for grant opportunities for the required building works, and they have had some notable successes, bul most of the cost continues lo fall on our shoulders. The church finances have akvays been Careful￿ managed with a view lo good stewardship. At limes we have stepped out in faith and God has led the congregation to respond with generosity. Oui current PL7si(ion is sound. but we face increasing headwinds from inflation of th$ cost base which will make 2026 a ChaI￿ng1rng year. We continue lo rely totally on the faithful giving of our church famity who, we hope and pray, trust that their giwng is used wisety. Reserves policy Following review, the reserves policy remains.. To hold net realisable unreslricled and undesKJnaled reserves Inel curtsnt asselsl equivalent to months, spending, excluding spending wh￿h is funded from designated and reslricled funds.
