Treasurer’s Report for the Parish of Upper Stour
It’s a relief to report that in 2022 some normality began to return, following the Covid affect since March 2020. Sadly, our Standing Order donations have decreased by over 10% due to the loss of several regular donors, but fundraising became somewhat easier, although our December ‘Illuminations’ suffered a little, due to bad weather and also lack of light on one occasion!
On the positive side, we have raised sufficient monies to remove the risk of more lead-thefts from St.Peter’s church, as it now has steel, which has no theft-benefit. Kilmington, St.Mary’s church also suffered damage and impact, during the storm in February, but insurers quickly enabled the repairs to roof and tower.
In 2022 our amalgamated income was £102,470 excluding restricted monies for repairs etc, but much of which was received in the final month(s) of the year. Our mainly regular expenditure was minimised to about £70,000, despite increases in energy costs etc. In view of the income uncertainties, as a result of being in an interregnum particularly, mid-year it was decided to put into a deposit account monthly amounts similar to the Share requested by Diocese, whilst we await the appointment of a new incumbent. Thus, to avoid being short of funds for essential expenditures. But we were able to finally clear the oldest unpaid Share amount.
I would like to sincerely thank the LCC treasurers Tony Moorby and Graham Poynton, for their support in managing the finances of their LCCs during 2022. Hopefully 2023 will be more successful, including the appointment of a priest, but I would like to thank all the members of the PCC who, along with our parish administrator, have worked tirelessly to ensure Upper Stour is a successful and viable parish.
Details of the Income and Expenditures for each local Church, the parish magazine and the PCC itself, plus their amalgamation, are shown in the attached schedule. The transactions have been independently examined and that report is also attached.
