Financial Review 2024 The total income of the parish in 2024 was £346,236, a decrease of 7.2 % on 2023 (£373,032) when the parish benefited from 2 bequest of £50,000. The sources of income are shown in the chart below, followed by a summary of some of the main details.
Income £346,236 Planned giving Hall lettings £51.110 Collections & donation5 £46212 Gift Aid tax refund £36,211 Weddlng & funeral fees •11•• £24,779 Interest 11• £14.074 • 2024 2023 Rents Icanterbury Drive) £11,8118 Other income IP £8,135 Grants £0 Income- summary Planned Giving by church members provided some 440/0 of the income for the year; the total amount received in this regular way, £150,647, showed a small decrease of-1.4 % from 2023. This continued a year-on-year downward trend since 2021. Hire charges for Hall Lettings {£51,110) were the next largest source of income and were slightly higher (pSus 1./01 than in 2023. The St Andrew's Church Centre provides affordable venue hire for a wide range of local community groups and activities. These include the Orchard pre-school five days a week, several exercise and dance classes for both adults and children, University of the Third Age IU3A), choirs, hobby clubs, slimming groups and some NHS primary healthcare and local authority services altogether serving to promote well-being in the local community. Collections and donations {£46,212) increased markedly by over 28% from the previous the year. £25,548 of these donations were designated to specific purposes in the parish or for the support of local and overseas charities. These include church members, generous response to the Easter Gift Day which, after the Gift Aid tax rebate was added in, raised £16,746 towards the cost of phase of the St Andrew's church parapet, entran and window repairs. Gift Aid tax refunds provided an important source of income and, with some large individual donations eligible for a tax refund, increased by 3.5'/0 year on year. Fee5 for Weddings and Funerals were some 240/0 greater than the previous year. These are mostly onducted by our clergy, serving families at important times. Statutory Church of England fees make up a large part of this income with a proportion of these remitted to the diocese. We benefited from the prevailing high interest rates on our cash reserves held in Church of England Central Board of Finance deposit funds and in an interest-bearing savings account. Together these paid interest of £14,074 in 2024 (2023.. £10,461). We anticipate that this source of income will reduce in 2025 with the forecast fall in the Bank Rate. The house at 5 Canterbury Drive was not needed to provide staff accommodation in 2024 and was let throughout the year, providing a net income of £11,808 after deduction of insurance, maintenance and repair costs from the rental received. It is currently shown as an investment on the Balance Sheet, with a valuation of £300,000. Other income includes £2,347 from solar panel electricity generation, £2.578 from an insurance claim on the theft of the gates to All Saints, church car park and £1,400 of sales and advertising revenue from the parish magazine, News Extra. Lesser amounts were received as contributions towards the costs of the parish's social and community events, photocopying for hall hirers, and small commissions on the sales of local artists, work displayed in the Coffee House café. The parish received no external grants in 2024 (2023.. £3,264).
Expenditure- summary The total expenditure of the parish in 2024 was £392,951, 10/0 less than in 2023 (£396,385). breakdown is shown in the chart below, followed by a summary of the expenditure under the larger headings. Expenditure £392.951 Dlocesan parlsh share Repairs & maintenance £55567 Adminlstratlve costs £47.171 Charitable giving £36,509 Ministry & pastoral care ??.._&4642 Bulldlngs runnlng costs £33012 Chlldren & youth £30,254 utilities £25,443 Equlpment & technology * £9,064 Other w £6,301 All Salnts, churchyard P £4,231 £109,958 2024 2023 The amount shown under Diocesan Parish Share in the chart accounted for some 28°/o of expenditure. The total of £109,958 was split between payments to the Diocese of Winchester Common Mission Fund {CMF> and payments to the Church of England Evangelical Council's Ephesian Fund, as follows.. Diocese of Winchester ICMFI £64,742 Ephesian Fund ICMF retained in 2023) £19,782 Ephesian Fund (2024) £25,434 Around 70 % of the CMF goes to pay for the training, stipends, pension contributions and housing of the clergy, including our own rector, with the rest supporting diocesan ministry and wider church administration. In 2023, the PCC resolved to reduce our monthly contribution by 30 %, to reflect the allocation to parish ministry, and this was put into effect from May 2023. In 2024 the PCC resolved to contribute the withheld amounts to the Ephesian Fund to be directed to parishes in Winchester diocese with an orthodox evangelical position. Repairs and Maintenance expenditure includes £11,940 for final bills on the St Andrew's chapel and phase-one parapet repairs,. £11,342 to complete the Prayer Garden project,. and £16,670 for planning and design work to make a start on phase of St Andrew's parapet and entrance repairs. The rest of the expenditure was for general upkeep of the fabric of the two churches, the St Andrew's centre, the Coffee House and the accommodation that the parish provides for the Children and Youth Minister at 2 Corsair Drive. Administrative Costs are a proportion of church-office staff time, plus insurance, printing and other costs essential for the management and operation of the two churches. Higher costs in 2024 than in 2023 reflect the employment of an operations manager from June 2024. Charitable Giving is made up of a tithe (one-tenth) of the monies freely given to the parish (£20,353) plus money given for special collections, or in response to charitable appeals. More details are given in notes 6 and 7 of the annual accounts. Donations to Rwanda comprised gifts taken out on the visit in February, including musical instruments, and a grant towards paving pathways and car parks at Maranyundo and Nyamata churches. required to meet Rwandan government regulations. Expenditure on Ministry and Pastoral Care was less than in 2023 when for part of that year we employed two associate ministers. In 2024 it comprised the salary of the one associate minister and costs associated with weddings and funerals which are all recovered through the fees included in income.
Also included are the costs of evening courses, Kintsugi, to promote mental well-being and Alpha, for those interested in finding out about Christian faith. Building Running Costs expenditure paid for the cleaning, caretaking and administration of the St Andrew's church and centre. The higher Gost in 2024 reflects increased administration. Rooms are used every day of the week. As well as the community use reported in the income summary above, the church makes great use of the facilities. We are active in running clubs for children and young people on Sundays and mid-week as well as summer holiday activities for local children. In 2024 we again ran the Mechanix project to help teenage girls and boys who find formal education challenging grow workplace skills and confidence to equip them for the future, based around the renovation of a classic car. The monthly lunch club, Cameo. continued for some forty elderfy people. Children and Youth costs of £30,254 show a small increase from last year {2023.' £29,828), with the appointment of an intern from September. Expenses of £1,033 associated with the Mechanix course are included in this figure, and these were paid for out of deferred income from grants set aside for the Mechanix project,. funds of £5,045 are carried forward for projects in 2025 and beyond. Utilities, costs for heating, power, water bills and waste collection were 12 /0 higher than in 2023. In that year we benefited from refunds of VAT and the Climate Change Levy on our energy bills which, as a charity, we should not have been paying for several years previous. Outturn for 2024 The net financial result for the year was a deficit of expenditure over income of £46.715 funded from Parish reserves. This reduced the net current assets which stood at £356,034 at the end of the year 12023: £401,234) This figure includes Restricted Funds of £16.575, which the PCC may spend only on the specific objectives for which they were given. and Endowment Funds, the capital of which we may not draw upon. Further detai15 on Restricted Funds are given in note 14 of the annual accounts. Endowment Funds currently stand at £62,500 and are held on deposit with the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England., the interest payments from the fund are used for the upkeep of All Saints, ChurGhyard. Reserves Policy It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least six months unrestricted budgeted payments. This will be equivalent to some £239.000 for the first six months of 2025. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow, to provide a buffer against unexpected loss of income and meet unforeseen major expenditure 50 that we can fulfil our responsibilities for others, including employees. The cash balance held on unrestricted funds at the year end, with recognition of the outstanding amounts payable to and by the PCC, was some £277,000 which meets this target. All figures in this report and in the financial statements of the annual accounts are shown to the nearest whole number of pounds. This may result in apparent discrepancie5 in totals where total figures reflect the sum of unrounded figures.
