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￿$a Williarn5. 4 people were elected onto the Deanery S nod and as such
also became members of the PCC.. Olivia Brambill, Anthony adu, Roger Orr
and Viv Thatcher. The APCM also saw the re-election of Raphael Pedro and
Liz Fothergill as churchwardens.
In 2023 the total incofne received was E505.284 and ex
endItU￿ £529,120.
For comparison in 2022 we received income of £428,1 Is and our expenditure
was £484.044. The totsl funds as of 31 st December 2023 amounted to
£441.066 of which £391,535 was unrestrirted compared to £414.547 of
Un￿$t￿cted 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.

from £ik,531 in 2022 to £179,195 in 2023.

The slte develo

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

Notes to the accounts
11. Cash at bank and in hand
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that
members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are
recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be
added before ￿tireMent. depending on investment returns and other factors.
The account. plus any bonuses declared. is payable, un￿duCed, from age 65.
There is no subdivision of assets between ern
loyer5 in each section of the
Pension 8uilder Scheme. The scheme is consiSered to be a rnulti-employer
scheme as described in Section 28 01 FRS 102. This is because it is not
possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to
specific employers and contributions are accounted for as if the Scherne we
a defined contribution scheme. The pension contnbutions payable for the
year, which have been char9ad to the Statement of Financial Activities, were
£8.49112022.. £14.2211.
