APCM PCC Treasurers Report 3tst December 2022 he Lords our Shepherd we shall not wont." Psalm 23 vl In 2022. our finances stabilised with income and expense broadly in balance with a surplus of £1,500, an improvement of £2,7LKI versus 2021. Income was down by £1,600 versus 2021, with giving lower by £2.(K)O, however. with new people joinin& the second half of 2022 was £2.3 higher than the first half. Rental income for the premises increased by £5,21X) mainly as a result of new business and higher rents from September 2022. Expenditure was down £4.400 mainty due to a one off expenditure in 2021 when the church was redecorated. This allowed the Parish Share to be paid in full at £48,244 for the third consecutive year. Wlth contributions from church members and the Church, £l,(MX) was sent to Ukraine and £910 for the fire damage to homes in nearby Wennington. The General Fund stands at £27,1(M), £3.3LKI higher than 2021. Cash assets stand at just under £36,1XKI and the thurth has no debts. I would like to thank our accountants Data Development for their support and advice. Outlook for 2023 £8,000 has been approved for improvements and landscapin8 to the car park and £5,OIX) for refurbishment to the small kitchen in the church. Electriclty Costs will rise from April when the existing fixed cost contract expires, however, all energy costs will be mitigated by an energy grant of £1,045 received from the Diocese. Under the new allocation process by Deanery, our Parish Share for 2023. has been reduced by £4.800 to £43,5QM). If there is a shortfall in Haverin8 Deanery overall Parish Share. churches will asked to contribute to the shortfall and this has been a8reed to by the PCC as it fully supports the new process.
