Financlal Revlew 2024 The accounts for 2024 were cornpi18d and examinad by Burton and Company Accountants Ltd. who also examine the accounts for our partner church al St Mary's, Davyhulme. Total receipts for 2024 were £86,068 - just a little higher than 2023's £82.023. And y8t again, payments were even higher £91,095 instead of £88,854 the previous year. We spent more than we éamed and the gap had lo be bridged, yet 8gain, by a transfer of funds from our res8rves. Unplanned expenditure included repairs to a slained glass window in the North Aisle1£5,652), new f8ncing at the Curacy House, legal fees for dealing with unauthorised occupan15 of the Curacy House, continuing bills for gas and electricity at the fomier Branch Church buildin9, and wrongly calculated bills for the photocopier. We have sought refunds for these last items and may have to resort to legal redress. On thè plus sidè, wè sold the f OTmer Branch Church building f or a sum in excess of £300,000. However, the legal view was that, slnce the building was f und8d. in 1940, f rom donations for the establishment of a "Chapel of ease. in Humphrey Park, the sale incom& can only be applied lo the sam8 obl8Ct. W8 have applied to the Charity Commlssion f or pemiission lo use th8 mon8y f or more general pUoses. In the meantime the money Is held in trust by th& Dioces& of Manchester, eaming interest at a current average of 4.4 10 a year. We in¢ased our contribution to th& mission of thé Dioces8 of Manchestèr. This is 'Parish Share°_ our shar8 of the dlocesan budget. c*f which roughly 75010 f unds our clergy through training, stipends, penslon conlrfbutlons and parsonage Costs.

Prompt payment has eamed us a small amount of "cash back f rom the Diocesan Board of Finance.. 20/0 or £620, which goes towards our 2025 payment. For 2025 we have agreed lo pay £33,500 land £36,0 Sn 2026). Fallurè lo pay the amounts agréed th the Diocese would prèclud8 us f rom applying for répair grants f rom the Diocese.
