An examination indudes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Church Activities - Regular Receipts and Routlne Payments The accounts for the year ending 31 De￿rnber 2024 record a surplus of £6546.67 for our Church Activities. This has helped in offsetting the deficit on the Church Bam Activities which has resulted in a small surplus of £1061.07 being carried through to 2025. Direct giving by bank standing order and by members joining the Parish Giving Scheme has enabled the church to maintain a level of financial stability. Taking a financially cautious stance the PCC elected to maintain the Parish Offer at the 2023 value. The PCC are most grateful for the regular giving sustained by the members in the continuing challenging financAal climate. Whilst the PCC elected not to have a Grft Day the decision was tsken to appeal to the electoral roll for monies to undertake very necessary urgent repairs to the South and North aisle roofs. Ingress of rainwater was causing serious damage and temporary works were agreed with the Church Architect to address this. The appeal raised £5500 and together with other monies enabled the repairs to be undertaken. Insurance costs have increased a little in line with general inflation. A new 3 year electricity contract was negotiated in 2024 in order to stsbilise our electricity costs. 2. Church Actlvltles - Exceptional Recelpts and Exceptlonal Payments Ex￿ptIOnal Re￿iptS stand at the sum of £65161.81. This sum is represents the monies received from insurance daims for repair works to the organ and a stained glass window and the generous gifts for the roof. 3. Church Bam Activitles - Regular Recelpts and Routine Payments Routine Payments exceeded Regular Re￿Ipts in 2024 by £4486.41. primarily reflecting the cost of electricity. The hard work put in by the people who look after the church barn is much appreciated. 4. Church Barn Activities - Exceptlonal Receipts and Exceptional Payments A rental fee for the bam was retumed as the activity was considered inappropriate by the pcc. S.
