PARISH CHURCH OF
EARLEY St PETER, READING
ACCOUNTS
31st DECEMBER 2025

Parish Church of Earley St Peter, Reading
Treasurerfs Report
For the Year ended 31st December 2025
Church flnances continue to present challenges as we face many external factors which we cannot directlv
control as well as the various, and sometlmes conflicting, priorltles of church life. World events have an
impact on the investments we hold, and local activitles present inevitable cholces in relation to our limited
resources. In short, we cannot do everything which we might Wlsh to do. In 2025 our Income from
Investments increased by just £340, and the value of those investments decreased by £19,619. Our largest
flnanclal commltment is of course the Parish Share which in 2026 will increase to £73,191 from last year's
£71,755, Thls eqLtates to over £1,400 per week before we do anythlng else. Income is generally hard to
come by whilst expendlture contlnues Its remorseless rise, and we do therefore need to critically examine
every penny spent to ensure that it furthers our overall objectives.
The accounts show a deficit for the year of £12,126 12024 surplus £16,658). This deficit include5 the
decrease in the value of Trust Funds of £19,61912024 increase £10,981) and legacles recelved of £33,299
12024 £3671. Regular planned givlng ha5 remained broadly similar to the previous year. The actual deficit on
day-to-day actlvltles was £25,80612024 £5,310). This is clearly unsustalnable.
The Church hall is a valuable resource both for church activltles and as an attractlve venue for other
organi5ations. After a challenging start to the year we now have a new Hall Manager In post and the future
looks good. The hall surplus for the year was £47012024 EI,9101 wlth income from hlrlngs Increasing again
to £52,511 12024 £49,913). The hall is of tourse a community resourte and, as ever, its benefit extends
beyond the financlal results.
The management of church flnances is somethlns In which we can all play our part, whether It be in
maximislng income or in controlling expendlture. l am, as ever, grateful to all those who help to make sure
that this runs smoothly and efflciently. It is very much a team effort.
Flnally I would like to express my thanks to all who contribute to our flnances in so many dlfferent ways, and
who make It posslble to do all that we do in this busy parlsh.
