Finance Annual Report

Summary

After the last few years’ projects, this was supposed to be a quiet year!

Through careful management we have manged to break even for the financial year. This has been due to: -

Regular appeals for donations have shown the generosity of our congregation, but these need to be maintained. As the Covid situation looks set to continue we need to remind people of the ways that they can give on a regular basis.

A “giving” button now exists on the TMC website and we should look to publicise this more.

With the new financial year, we need to remind everyone to prayerfully review their level of giving. Assuming anything close to normality, the expenditure continues to rise and we need a minimum increase of 5% of income to meet the demand. An uplift in giving of 10% will help to ensure the longer-term position. Sunday Morning giving is worth £1500 a month on average and this is area which will impact most on the forecast for next year.

We are blessed that we have not had to delve too deeply into the reserves. However, as Covid looks set to remain and with the onset of winter, the costs will rise and this situation will change. TMC is in good position due to its reserves and a situation like Covid is why the reserves policy is there.

Other Notes

Open Door money – At the last meeting, approval was given for £2000 to be released from the restricted fund. Those that run Open Door have asked that all the funds held be released in the knowledge that the property budget will provide for any kitchen enhancements as required.

Approval required from CC

Church Weekend – all deposits have either been repaid or converted to donations. The £100 booking deposit has been written off.

£500 has been lodged with the DPS – Deposit Protection Service – as the bond from the tenant for the flat.

Gift Aid

I am trialling using the HMRC Gift Aid process rather than the Methodist Church. This should be a simpler process and see the funds returned in a timelier fashion. We are now registered as a charity with HMRC (Separate from Charity Commission).

Finance Annual Report

Draft 2019-2020 Accounts

The accounts presented here are draft. There may be some adjustments when completing the Year End Activities. Due to the fractured nature of the year, I have simplified the fields. Much of the activity which is shown under “other” is throughput and balances out between income and expense.

Income Expenditure Note
Regular Giving £109,771 1
Gift Aid Refund £21,894
Bank Interest £390
Lettings £9,540 2
Property £3,501 £16,575
Other income £7,114
Circuit Assessment £88,200
Insurance/Utilities £10,082 3
Salaries £2,004 £20,458 4
Tithing £6,950 5
Other Expense £10,081

Balances
CoopC/Acc £16,312.16
CFB £44,020.85
PropertyReserve £7,457.57
TMCP £1,566.82
Total £69,357.40 Unrestricted £60,333.01

Notes

  1. Regular giving:-

  2. a. Standing orders remain constant

  3. b. The conscientious envelope donors have been sending in cheques to cover their weekly donations. However, some are ahead and some have converted to standing orders.

  4. c. The regular cheque donors have maintained their commitment

  5. d. The cash loss is worth £1500 a month. Some of this has been recovered through the appeals (and recorded as “cash” where appropriate)

  6. e. The Paypal button on the website has only been used once (as part of a testing)

  7. The lettings are effectively from the first 6 months of the year. The flat was empty for several months but does now have a new tenant.

  8. This includes the cost of the office mobile.

  9. The income relates to the 3 months of Furlough payment received

Finance Annual Report

  1. The tithing payments to Aldersgate and LZ7 have been held back, pending these events happening. The Bibles for Children payment was also held back pending more information. The plan is to pay these as and when is appropriate or for the funds to be reallocated.

Forecast for 2021

This forecast has been done on the basis of the last 6 months, with a view that normality will not return until at least the New Year.

Income Expenditure Note
Regular Giving £106,200 1
Gift Aid Refund £21,000 2
Bank Interest £300
Lettings £11,000 3
Property £1,000 £15,000 4
Other income £7,000
Circuit Assessment £90,000 5
Insurance/Utilities £11,000
Salaries £1,000 £22,000 6
Tithing £12,000 7
Other Expense £9,500
Total £148,500 £159,500
Forecast Loss
£12,000
Forecast Balances
CoopC/Acc £14,350.00
CFB £40,000.00
PropertyReserve £3,000.00
TMCP £0.00
Total £57,350.00 Unrestricted £54,350.00

Notes

  1. As stated above the loss of the weekly collection is a major contributor to the forecast loss.

  2. The Gift Aid will increase with more standing orders, but decrease as we will not be able to claim GASDS on cash donations.

  3. Some hiring groups are beginning to return.

  4. With no goose fair, income will be £1000 down. The £1000 shown above is the VAT claim. The LTR shows expected expense of £15,000 plus there are reserves from previous underspend. The Property Reserve largely covers the remaining works for the exterior of the building.

  5. The annual 5% increment for the Circuit Assessment has been delayed.

  6. We can claim a grant of £1000 in the New Year for retaining a previously furloughed employee.

  7. The £12,000 includes the deferred amounts and the expected amounts to be allocated later in the year.
