Fln•nclal Hl8hllghts The Church held total funds of lust under £500,IXb) at the end of 2023, vlrtually the same as at the end of 2022. Restrlcted and Endowment Funds whlch cannot be used for day-to-day expendlture accounted for £350.000 of thls total. And £95.000 of the balance related to tsnglble fixed assets such as the car park whlch cannot be readlly reallsed If at all. The balance of unrestrlcted cash, deposlts and reallsable Investments totalled £52,000. The cash oufflow from UnStrIcted funds In 2023 (5ncome less expendlture excludlng depreclatlonl was £17.600. If It was not for the legacy terred to In the sectlon below on Flnanclal Outlook then, on a three year tlme horlzon, the church would be lookln8 at runnlng out of unrestrlcted funds at the Current rate of Income and expendlture. Income Overall unrestrlcted Income was sllghtly up in 2023 cOMpad to 2022 but If one excludes Gift Ald clalmed whlch refiects donatlon In the pdIng year the net flgure In 2023 Is sllghtly lower. The largest contributlons were derlved from the Parlsh Glvlng Scheme1£23,000 Includlng Glft Aldl and the car park1£19,0001. Gross fees from weddln8s and funera15 Includlng thanks8lvlng 5ervlces were Ilttle over £21,000. Other donaonSI collectfons raised £17.000. Expendlture As In pVIouS years the major outgolng wa5 the Parlsh Share at £S2.600. Administration costs were hlgher at £28,000 reflethng the employment of a mana8er for the Falrfleld Centre and ufjlity costs We substanttally higher fleCtIng the expiry of cheap 3 year ga5 and electricity contacts. Overall
expendlture was marginally lower refiecttng the substsntial decline in Fairfield Centre expenditure which had been inflated by onewoff costs In 2022. Flnanclal Oudook As many of you knowjulie (Iwil Jefferies left the bulk of her estste to Aldeburgh Parish Church and we have this year {20241 receNed £9LK),IJX) with possibty a little more to come. If we had not received this legacy or any other legacies. it is probable that the PCC would have to face making some difficult decisions next year as to Whe to reduce the church's out80ings. There have been suggestions that the PCC might move at least some of this legacy money into a new restricted fund. It 15 the treasurerfs understsnding that the PCC nn0t move such money into a stricted account but can designate fund5 for a specific purpose. However the PCC retsinsthe rEht to mOve the designation from such funds at any time.
