Holy Triniiy continued to be opened for some hours each day during the spring. summer: and auiumn, and less often during ihe i%'inter. In addition to VolUnt¢e from the con&Tegaiion. during the COUTse of the year, it was d¢¢ided to emploj Visltor Welcome Assistant& so that the church could be open for visitors from 10a.m. to 4p.m. each day {exeept when a servi¢e is in progress). During the M'inter. the church is only open at weekends. This has resulted in an increase in visitors and also in income derived from those who pay to go into the chancel. w,here the main attraction is Shak'espeare s grdV¢. The two village churches in our parish are open for prayer for a few hours rach week. In Nov¢mbeT. the Triniiy Players put on iheirproduciion of Medieval Mystery Plays in Holy Trinity Church.

FINANCIAL REVIEW The PCC'S funds compri8e those of Holv Trinitv. All Saints, and Sl Helen's churches whi¢h are managed separately, but with the accounts consolidated at the end of the year. Holy Trinity funds By far the largest resource Inovements relate to Holy Trinity. As agreed at the 2022 APCM, we have changFed the hisiori¢ nomen¢laiure of our unrestricted funds and replaced these with nomenclature ihat better reflects the activity. The General Fund covers aaivities of a parochial nature. The Trading Fund ¢overs the day-to-day income and expenditure of the church shop and Holy Trinity's ministry to visitors and ils heritage function no longer paying for res¢oraiion. The Parish Hall Fund covers rental income and da) to day costs of the Parish Centre Legacies Fund which is self-explanatory and used for specific Capital cosis Cornrnunity FUTKI erbables granls to be given to individuals in n¢ed. Designated OrgFan Fuiid- reflecting COTnillitJnents already made and required for work planned in 2024 In addition to the unrestricted funds. there are some small reSiried funds. These are deiailed in the annual accounts, and some of tM are referred io lOw. Major projects at Holy Trinity in 2023 amounied lo £35.074. This included quinquennial work largely associat¢d lih SIOne'0rk repairs to ihe church l£17.497). replacement of bell ropes {£2.580). investigation and d¢velopmeni of plans for lanyards for the church roof allow'ing contractors to work safely l£1.6.fj9), investigations into the ¢onstru¢tion and potential repair of ihe south aisle roof (£5.90] }. minor audio visual work (£357) and erection scaffolding ahead of organ restordtion work {£7.080). At the beginning of 2023: Ihe PCC decided io fundamentally change rhe way we operaied as a heriiage tourist attra¢tion. We have previously reqliested donations for entry and employed limited staff during summer Inonths. This year we decided to maintain frtt access lo the church as a wliolc. but to impleinent a small entry charge for visitors to the chan¢¢l. As this is a ¢harg¢ rather than a donation. we paid V AT on all income resulting froin this Change. In addition we employed Visitor Welcome As5i5tants on a easual basis io ensure we offered a posiiive visiior experience to those visiting the church. The feedback we have received has been posiiive despite ihe fonnal ¢harge and ihe in¢r¢ase in siaff levels allow us to be OF¢n io visiiors more frequently than before. The increase in staff cost has been more than outweighed b>, the additional visitor income.

PAROCHIAL C'HURC'H C'.OIINCIL OF HOLY TRINITI, STRATFORD-UPON-AN.'ON WITH ALL SAINTS. LIIDDINCTON AND ST HELETri'S CLIFFORD Cl1AlBERs ANNUAL REPORT 2023 showed a deficil of £1.045, and the balan¢e is now around £1 1.500. The various fabric fui)ds showed a surplus of £1.877 and i)ow stands ai £22,501 alongjside ivhich Inay be counted the resource5 gathered s¢paralely by the Friends of St Helen's towards restoraiion of ihe building. PCC balance sheel The overall balance Sheet at ihe end of thc y¢ar 5100d at £439.890. an increase of £116,568 on the previous y¢ar. The remaining investment holdings across the Parish (now mainly at All Saint5) are CuentI), valued al about £76.000. Money held on deposii totals aknut £297.000 of whicli £230,966 is attributable io Holy Trinity. Mone) in ¢urrent bank accounts and cash ainounts total to around £65.800. of iihich around £43,000 is attributable to Holy Trinitv. In addition. Holy Trinity reiains some £18,589 worth of shop stock, an increase of nearlv £5,700 from 20?2. However. tum rdte remains good and the iiicreas¢ in sto¢k level reflects the slrong sales in the shop during 2023. Tlie value oli paper of tlic property ai 2 St John s Close. o¢cupied by the Associate Vicar. has now ken depreciated to zero on the balai)ce 51ieeL thougFh of course it remains a potential asset. The prollY at 3 CIK)pers Close. which is currei)Ily rented OUL belongs lo ihe separate St James's Trus¢. Outstanding liabilities at year's end were £44,340, largely reflecting invoices not due and wedding deposits. Salaries Salaries The loial salary bill. including Nationa] Insurnn¢¢ and pension contributions, was some £207.274, an incrvdse of about £108.000 on 2022. (This excludes the stipends of ihe clerg'y which are met through Parish Share.) This in¢re8se largely reflects the PCC decision ro move iowards staffing the church with employed Visitor Welcome assistants during tlie summer months and at weekends during the yvinter. The PCC conlribuies either to a pension scheme administered by the Chur¢h of England Pensions siaff s salarie5 or to the Board ¢lib)ible NEST nSIOn scheme und¢r the govemnient'"s auto-enrolment legislation. Staff salaries are benchmarked agTain5t good pra¢tiLe in other PCCS ii) the Major Cliurch¢s Network, and all staff salaries are above the Living Wage {as recommended by tlie Living Wage Foundation, which is higher than that required b}, law). Annual increases are Ixn¢hmarked against rdtes for the Coventry Dio¢esan la)J siaff. Reserves Policy The PCC'S policy is io maintain in the ui)reslricied reserves a miniinuin of six Inonths unavoidable payroll ¢ommiim¢nts- CUJTently around £50.0- and nornially to keep aroiind £50.000 towards future restoration expenditure. It will be clear from ihe above that ihis policy was fulfilled throughout 2023. HoM'ever, it is likely that we will dip below this level in 2024 due to the amount of capital expenditure planned. Fraud, theft.and damage There is no eviden¢e of any impairn)ents in 2023 and the PCC is thankful for ihe vigilance of paid staff and elecied officers. which ensures that propcrty is kept se¢ure and that receipis and payments are processed securely and in good time.
