RESTRICTED FUNDS: There was a surplu5 of £3884 1 } Income that was r1Ved and s ent in the year were (i) grants for the churchyard from Danbury Parish Council £1500 and War Graves Commission £60 (ii) incM)me from the Landisdale Charity £168 for Church maintenanco. 2) Income of £3884 was rec8ived from our Village Friends and retained within the Fabric Fund. 3) The were no special Collecttons during the year. There were no major restoration projects to the church fabric, so the Fabric Fund increased by £3884 to £72105. UNRESTRICTED FUNDS: There was a deficit of £2029 for the year. Income at £84402 was £7937 up on 2020 partly duè to the lessening 8ff8ct of Covid, which allowed an improv8m8nt in meeting room bookings. Fee income from weddings and funerals were double 2020 levels and onCeff donations were also significantfy up. Disappointingly income from Ihe Parish Giving Scheme and was down on last year. Expendlture overall was £8000 up on 2020 but this included an increased payment of £14000 towards our Parish Share (still not paid in full}- Other expenditures werè generally lower than last year although we did manage to spend almost £3000 extending the Garden of Remembrance. Outlook for 2022: Rostrictod: We face a major challenge in meeting the cost (up to £82000) to eradicate death watch beetle throughout the church roof and tower (presently subject to a further detailed suNey to determine the r8al 8Xt8nt of the infestation). Substantial funds will n88d to be raised through grants and appeals. Unrestricted: The PCC has approved a budget for 2022 which, rf achieved. will allow a Parish Share payment of £59000 (£54000 in 2021) and continuing financial support to our designated charities.
