The above table compares the different types of income for 2023 to 2022. Income from planned givings and donations from the car park are significantly higher than in the previous year. Unfortunately, loose collection, donations and investment income are lower than last year. Taken together, the total income in 2023 of £134,775 is only £4,731 higher than the previous year.
RESOURCES EXPENDED
As indicated in the Statement of Financial Activities, the total income for the year 2023 is £134,775. The total costs for the year is £142,034, before depreciation, which is an accounting adjustment. Therefore, the Church's Day to day running costs in 2023 are £7,259 greater than the available income. This overall deficit of £7,259 is made up of the unrestricted funds deficit of £26,607 and restricted funds surplus of £19,348.
The 2023 Bishop's Ministry Fund contribution for Llandudno Ministry Area was £93,000. This sum was paid in full before the end of the financial year.
