TREASURERS ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 2022

Review of the year

Total income for the year has icreased by 30,455, having fallen in the previous year by 1,611

The largest difference in income is reflected in the figures for Special Fundraising ( mainly Beckford Church) , which has increased by 13,343 from Planned Giving has increased by 2,685, having shown a decrease of 450 last year

Tax Refunds (Gift Aid Claims) are showing a decrease of 2,680 on last year, it would be expected that this is due to timing differences. Donations have increased by 2,937, and collections by 1,982

The Grant for 2,415 is the amount received by the BPCC for heating that was then allocated by Worcs Diocese to the Parish Share Contribution Total expenditure for the year has increased significantly by 30,306 from the previous year

Parish Share paid total for 2022 is 39,895 having been just 28,150 in 2021, the largest contibutions have been made by Overbury and the BPCC Parish Office and staff costs have increased by 2,194, we would expect this to now fall slightly due to the fact we no longer pay rent for the Parish There was a significant increase on funds spent on Repairs and Maintenance of 10,659:19,627 for 2022, 8,968 is shown for 2021 Churchyard Expenses show a decrease in spending, being 1,492 in 2022 and 2,200 in 2021, a variance of 708 Other expenses are also increased relating to the increased energy prices for heat and electric etc

The year Income and Expenditure net movement in funds is positive despite the increases in costs and expenditure

Investments and Reserves policy

Investment Fund balances used within the accounts are as per those reported by the individual Treasurers of the respective Churches The investment policy is to hold our reserves in the form of cash deposits with CBF and with their various investment funds They are held to meet costs in connection with further maintenance which will be required to keep our churches in an acceptable condition.

St Nicholas Cottage

The cottage has continued to be rented and this rent will be used in the first instance to replenish our depleted reserves. Rental income has fallen slightly by 63 in 2022, offset by costs which have also decreased for this year by 140 As in previous years, in 2022 the 7,600 surplus from rent (minus management costs incurred) has been used as a contribution towards Group Pari
