decreased! The result is that total unrestricted income of £97.814 on general account li.6.,
8x¢luding income from endowrnent and legacy funds). 8xceeded expendlture of £85,761 on
general account {i.e., exduding projed$ and donatlons from restricted funds) by over £12.000.
Planned giving Is still the most important sourc* of regular inojme. 45 donors now subscribo to
the very efficient Parlsh Giving Scheme ("PGS'). Receipts via the PGS. includln9 tsx recpjvered
{on a monthly basls), totalled lust over £47,000 in 2025 (as compared with about £49,600 in

There have also been recelpts of nearfy £5,300 from fundraising adivrties, Including money

in 2024. Church running and maintenance costs were substantially lower than in 2024 - £22,375
as compared to £30,426. This was due in large part to decreased utility costs - heating, lighting

conclusion of new. theaper, 2-y8ar 'green' gas and electricity contr3ds, the insiallalion of the
new and much more efficient Chapel heating system. and energy saving LED lighting in Church

£9,835 held on the Parish Magazine Account. has increased to £146,358 {as compared to
balan￿ of £63,608 at th8 end of 2024). This inu8ase is largely due to th8 larger of the Iwo

Res8rves Pollcy
It is PCC policy to maintain (rf possible) a balan￿ of unrestr1d￿j fiJnds that equates to at least
750/0 of unrestricted payments, to ￿)Ver emergency srlualions and changes In clrcumstances
that may arise from time to time. That aim has been comfortably achieved in 2025. as a result,
amongst other things, of the larger of the legacies received.
