Steve Collierfrom Ihe Strategic Development Fund for church plantlng In the deanery of Southend ended during 2024 when he was made Priest in charge. Thls appointmenthas met the first of ourvision goals in $8curingihefutureof the Church In this parish. 11 was agreed that Christ Church would pay £40,000 as Parbsh share. The last annual grant of £14.000 was glven by Ihe Mlsslon Opportunlty Fund to part4und our children and family workers. With Ihe appointrnent of our new fu114me Children's and family wother, a grdnl of £4,000 was received from The Benefact TrusL This was the first of three annual payments awarded. Income from the shop Increased by approximately £21,000 from 2023. after expenses the income supports our d)Ildren and youth ministries. General congregational giving induding Tax Relief has again increased durlng 2024, this year byiust under £14.000 this reflects the increase in numbers in the congregation and the commitment new members are making to Ihe mission of Christ Churth. This increase again supports ourvision by making the Church financially secure. In addition to the increase in general giving, an additional £12,800+ has been given toward project launched in the Autumn to improve the Café and small meets'ng room area. li is expected that work will begin in the spring of 2025. Extemal users of the centre have decreased, and a few regular bookings have been lost. Although we have lost income, a little under £7.000. this loss of bookings has freed up space for our own mission, e.g enabling the second toddlergroup to meet. Increased cost of living challenges all who use the centre. Page 8
Increased expendilure on parish share. s81aries. cleaning. utilllSes, children's wo. staff costs. church events. outreach events and general inflation have all been covered by in- creased incoming resources. Major expenditure during theyear included the purchase of new sound equipment to SUP- port the worship band. Unfortunately, the mixerdesk developed a fault and had to be re- tumed underwarranty forrepair. As Ihe year ended, we were still awaits'ng il's retum. At the end of the year our tolal assets stood at approx. £163.000 an increase from approx. £120,000 at the end of the previous year. This incr8ase has sewred the financial stability of the organisation. thls fills us with confidence thatwe can plan forthe futyre.
