they are available on the Commission's website Iwww.charit
commission.
Income: 2023 built on the progress made in 2022. and the finances benefitted from strong Church
attendances, and additional other giving. The2023 totsl of Planned and other Giving to the General
Fund (Note 2a) including Gift Aid amounted to £89.698, a 13.4% increase on the total for 2022 of
£79.074. Despite the continued flat income from monthly standing orders, the donations from all
other sources We￿ well ahead of last year, and the PCC wishes to thank everyone who gave so
8enerousty in 2023. Other General Fund Income in 2023 (Note 2bl. was also positrve. with the Parish
Magazine generating income of £19,946 from adverknsers. The one Fund Raising event in 2023 was
the Big Breakfast which raised record income of £2,089.
Grants Received & Fabric
ro e¢ts- Several grants were received in 2023 to support both the church
overheads and the Or8an Appeal fund. the only Fabric project in 2023 INote 2gl. The Appeal raised
another £63,213, which took the total to within 4% of the target of £300,000. Preliminary costs were
paid out, mainly to Nicholson & Co totalling £56,031 laftef all VAT was reimbursedl.
acies.. Two bequests We￿ gratefully received in 2023, including one for £5.929, with the Will
indicating that it should be used for maintaining the Fabric of the Church.
Ex
enses: The impact of global inflatFon was very evident in early 2023, and had a major impact on
overheads, particularly utility costs, which have now been secured on far more advantageous
contracts. This has been a year when a number of one-off or routine maintenance issues have arisen,
and this has all led to a sharp rise in Expenses. Church running costs rose by £8,202112%1 to £76.521.
Parish Share.. A revised Diocesan Parish Share system was Introduced in 2023 as part of the new
Missioner ministry arrangements. This brou8ht substantial relief from the previous OLrt-of-reach
Parish "Ask" The 2023 Aspirational level of Parish Share for Dedham was set at £46,623, some £3.877
less than 2022, and it was very pleasing that this year we had enough in General Fund to meet this.
Reserves: The overall funds held by the PCC at 31 December 2023 totsl £602,724, an increase of
£60.506 in the year. The larEest fund continues to be the Organ Appeal fund and this now stands at
£216,581, sufficient to meet the Organ rebuild this coming Autumn. Apart from the Organ Fund, all
other funds increased by a net £46.568 during 2023, compared to a loss of £44,321 reported last
year. Fund investments made a gain of £22,572 whleh ￿COvered 73% of the investment105ses in
2022. Whilst the t￿r￿nt economy remains uncertain, it is vital that the PCC continues to maintain
sufficient fL¢nds In the General Reserve to meet fLSture challenges. The strong financial performance
in 2023 has resulted in a Cash balance of £27,412 bein8 held in the General Fund at 31 December
12022 £20,470 cash).
In Conclusion, I wish to give my heartfelt thanks to both Sara Marshall and Katrina Ablett for the
immense amount of work they put in, diligently and professionally throughout the year.

I report on the accounts of the PCC forthe year ended 31 December 2023, whith are set on page5 3 to 12 of
the Full Annual Accounts.
Re5pertlve responslbllltles of PCC and Examiner.
The PCC Is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC consider5 that an audlt is not required for
thi5 yearundersertion 144121 of the CharitiesAct2011 (the 2011 Act) and that only an independent examination
is needed.
It is my responsibillty to..
examine the accounts under sectlgn 145 of the 2011 Art.
follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
under *ttion 145151 Ibl of the 2011 Art,. and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the IrKkpendent Exam5nerfs Report
Mye¥amination was carrled out in acctsrdance with the general Directions 8iven by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comi￿rIson of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consider3tion of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts.
and seeking explanations from you as trustee5 concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether
the account5 present a 'true and fair view and the report is limited to those rnatter5 set out in the statement
below.
Independent Examlnerfs Ststement

- to keep attounting records in accordance with sèction 130 of the 2011 ACL. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accountin8
requirements of the 2011 Act. have not been met.. or

accounts to be reached.
