Financial Review
2025 has been another busy year at St Mark’s continuing ministry to the folk in Woodthorpe whilst in Vacancy until end November, and the Church members have all rallied together using gifts God has given them as well as financially. Thank you to everyone for your generosity.
We have continued to support our partners in Burundi (Burundi Sunday) and in Guatamala and had fundraising RELOVED events to support Safe Families and Angel Tree project at Prison Fellowship, as well as supporting our Children and Youth ministries. A new venture is Baby Basics which is self supporting. The ministry to our older members and friends is thriving thanks to our volunteers.
The Church Hall produce a good income from hirers and contributes to the finances of the Church and it enables us to share this facility with the local community as well as using it for Church ministry. However, expenditure for utilities and repairs in particular has increased for both premises and at the year end we had an deficit.
Many thanks to the Finance Team who help to keep our finances in order.
