Our 2023 APCM saw June Brown. Elan Stedford, Brian Craig, Lu Sawyer and Naomi Davis come to the end oftheir temis on PCC. We were d%. hted to have 11 church members interested in and standin vacancie5 created. A vote at the APCM saw Brian rai re-elected along with 3 new members elected to the PCC.. Jennifer Griffin-Qalters, Josh Pedro and The$a Williarn5. 4 people were elected onto the Deanery S nod and as such also became members of the PCC.. Olivia Brambill, Anthony adu, Roger Orr and Viv Thatcher. The APCM also saw the re-election of Raphael Pedro and Liz Fothergill as churchwardens. In 2023 the total incofne received was E505.284 and ex endItU £529,120. For comparison in 2022 we received income of £428,1 Is and our expenditure was £484.044. The totsl funds as of 31 st December 2023 amounted to £441.066 of which £391,535 was unrestrirted compared to £414.547 of Un$tcted funds at the end of 2022. 2023 was another challengin year for the finances of the church. The PCC 15 pleased to note that income a5 increased, and the in-year deficit has been reduced but there is more work needed to achieve a position of financial sustsinability. Most of the remainin9 deficit can be explained by utility costs being hi her than budgeted during the year and indications are that these costs wiiPdrop in 2024 Other costs a carefully controlled and the reduction of the deficit is evidence of this control. However des ite this progress the General Fund has reduced durin9 2023 by a further £fok to just over £24k. Of this, only £3.306 is represented by net current assets. These are a few key points from the year Hire of hysical spaces bought in a greater income in 2023 IE47,2341 vs 20221£3g.1981 but this was mostly as a result of renting out accommodation lor the first half of the year rather than increased usage of the hall or the church. The Hall which is the major source of rental income is now well utilised with little scope for in¢asIng income. We are pleased that due to an in¢aSe in giving following an appeal in early 2023 we were able to pay for a full_time youth worker from August 2023. Cfverall. our staff costs dro minister leavin early in 20 ped during the year as a result of the 8550ciate £3 and the costs of their accommodation for bein borne b the iocese not the arish. This meant the staffing costs de¢ase from £ik,531 in 2022 to £179,195 in 2023. -ThePCCta et for 2023 had been to breakeven at least in cash terms. Thi5 had appeare achievable until the recei of the year. This aim will be pursued wit t of increased utility bills at the end greater urgency in 2024. The slte develo ment project was still paused at the end of 2023 but remains part of tre long-tem vision for the church. The beginning of the year was mainly given over to seeing the thurth through the interre9num, following the departu ol Jenny Dawkins as interim minister in January. We were delighted that Greg's installation as the new incumbent shortly beforehand meant that he was in post to join us for his first APCM at All Saints.
