Flnanclal review
Income for thè year was £257,646 (2022: £302,537). The main reason for the increase was from an increase
in donations and offerings.
Giving lo the General Fund increased in Ihe year arKI total G8n8rdl Fund income was £206.819 {2022:
£189.3421.
Expenditure for the year was £313.814 (2022: £303.172}. Th8 increase in expenditure was partly due to the
refurbishment of the 137 Imperial Drive between tenancies and within the General Fund. noted below.
Grants totalling £13,67412022: £8,000) were paid fr￿n the Missv)n Support Furmj in 2023. There was also
a transfer of £12,753 from the Mission Support Fu￿1 to support the CAP Debt Centre.
General fund expenditure was £183.932 {2022: £167.425) ihis is mainly due to the impact of inflation on
certain costs and also a mov8m8nt avrdy from fijnd transfers. Previously ￿rtain types of expenditure such
as fabric spend occurred within dèsignated furKts. but this is now within the ge￿ra1 fund expenditure.
At the end of the year the reserves balance on the General FurKI was £90,184 (2022.. £71.683). Thè resèrves
balancè will cover just overfour months of 2024 bLxlgeted expenditure. and therefore meets the four months
of budg8t8d experKliture as set out in the reserves polKy.
The Mission Support FuThJ has a balan￿ at the end of the year of £68.330 (2022: £94.757). and grants are
mad8 at18asl annually to UK andlor overseas mission projects. The church general fund continued to

consider that a professional valuation would incLff slwificant costs which would be onerous compared with
