The figure in brackets refers to fees not yet received by the diocese. (£145.10). As you will see, our income in general has gone down. 1701". In 2024 we offered the flower festival ladies a sum of £750 which was money raised by ¥arious aCtiVrt￿s. The appendix shows that our giving for 2024 was £2,531.1 which is monies sometirnes given to the charty themselves, hence the drfference in the figAJre5. 1020.'This refers to the payments received for the hlring of St George's Community Centre and our library building. Our parish share for 2024 was £40.910. of which we paid £16,000 or 39%. 233Qk. This is general [naintenan￿ for the Church. (heating costs were £1,912.97). We are also supporting St George's with their water. electric, cleaning and maintenance costs (£4,002.94) 2360: This includes the annual fee to the Diocese for their SUPFKJrt. This fee increased in 2024 by 15.40A. We also pay an annual webb fee and an annual clock warden fee. This figure also inGlud8s the reimbursement of the current treasurer and previous PCC secretary for any out of pocket expenses. Our fuel bills have seen increases. We are at present looking at ways of how V￿ can reduce this. 2420: We have had a rather large water sewerage bill which accounts for the difference between the hvo figures. We are at present trying to get new meter readings. 2365.. We have an increase in our printing costs as we have a new contraGt with our supplier and costs have increased. On page 3 of these figures Looking at the total for 2024. the running costs in g&neral do not really show much of a difference.
