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.
To maintain realisable unrestricted and undesignated reserves al the policy level by setting an annual
budget that achieves the policy and by monitoring the budget throughout the ye￿, taking any action a$
appropriate.
Reserves for this purpose include xcumul8ted unrestricted income, but exclude accumulated restr￿ted
income, designated income arbd incom9 that could onty be realised by selling assets held for the use of the
pcc.
The reserves held under this policy meet current operational needs. ensu￿ capacity lo manage unforeseen
financial difficulties which may arise from swnificanl unexpected spending or drop in income, and provide a
clear financHI framework for the PCC and ts sub ¢omm5tte8S to support decision making, including budget
and strategic planning.
FUTURE PLANS
Al the beginning 01 2025 our Rector Canon David McDougall announc￿ his retirèment. effective 28th
February 2026. The Trustees have been planning for this, and all that is needed for the recruitment of a new
