’ Treasurer s report 20/02/23 - Mark Seymour
Another financially sound and robust year for St Albans, funded and fully supported by the very loyal, kind and big-hearted congregation of St Albans.
This support has allowed the church to continue to play a vital part of the community post COVID restrictions and during difficult cost of living increases.
We all have and will continue to experience some harsh cost pressures, particularly with utilities and food costs.
We have sufficient funds to allow us to meet our operating costs and the Parish share for 2023 (£66k).
However, looking forward as we must to 2024, it will be a very tight year to meet our Parish Share. Our cash flow reduces during 2023 as the previous generous legacies are used to support our activities. These legacies do allow us to provide for and continue to contribute to the St Albans Community.
The continuing challenges for our stewardship and diligence:
Ensuring we get the best value services for our limited funds; Challenging what we have previously done, why and how and then seeing if there is a better way/method and cost.
Maximising the opportunity for parishioners to be able to contribute with their time, fundraising activities and contributions.
