ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charltable actlvltles
2024 was like most years - a lime of wailing and a time of sad goodbyes. but also a time of congratulations and
waim welcomes. But not all years start quile as well. our own Dee Peck was awarded the British Empire Med81
for services to the community in Ashtead!
The other highlight Ét the start of the year was Ihe a￿1Val of Ben Andrews our new Youth Worker to work with
Joynie Kendall the Leader of 0-18 Ministry- February saw the anival of Dawn Collin our new Communications &
Media Officer. It also saw the arrival of a Ukrainian family into one of our church houses.
In parallel with the excitement of new staff was the prayerful anticipation ol a new Rector. The interview5 were
held in MarGh and we were so reliev&d when Tom Darwent accepted the Dffer. Whilst it seBmed a long time until
his servic8 of Collation, Induction and Installation in September. there was much work to be done - not18ast on
the Rectory. There were also celebration5 at ihe Dell, bolh with excellent cake5. The first was Dr Alison
Anderson, known lo so many in the village. becoming a curate. The second, a fortnight later. was for Sharon
Seal who was stepping down from being the Leader of Pastoral Care for 23 years! Sharon now runs her own
business helping people explore and grow spirilually. Over August many of us walked with her from St Paul's
Cathedral lo St Alban's Cathedral over five consecutive Saturdays. Sharon was 8 tOLJgh act to follow. but we are
very grateful that Sarah Moore is makSng Ihe role very much her own.
Tom and his family moved in over the summer and his first Sunday coincided wilh Heritage Weekend when they
saw first-hand the church in aclion. They have all setued in very quickly and we are so pleased lo have them
with us.
Under Linda Scott's charge of the re￿ption team. we are able to welcome r770re people into the building as
hirers. The café also continues to flourish. bul can sometimes be held back by the lack of volLJnleers. Don't
forget to keep an eye on htt JI
hlead.o
obs for a list of volunteering rdes that could well 5UIt you.
Without your gracè, the volunteers, Ihe staff. the leadership team and especially Sarah Tapp we know we would
not be in the strong rx)$ition we are currently in as we put the vacancy behind us. So whal does 2025 hold for us
all?
Sure it will m8an. as il does with all aspects of our lives, more day-lo-d8y"housekeeping" 11 will 81so mean more
reaching out to Ashtead 2nd beyond. plus créating two new moming s8rvices at St G80rge's and a second
curate, Matt Regan, who will join us in the summer. But in all this busines5 we must nol forget God's proniises lo
us, as it says in John 10."1 Ob
I have come that they may have Ilfe, and have It to the full.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financlal position
2024 continued the theme of consolidation and improvement as we prepared for and welcomed our new Rector
In the Summer. The Rectory has been refurbished 8nd our d)urch houses have benefiltBd from various upgrades
as we drive lowards further effictency and meeling OUT 'net zero, targets.
Our General Fund giving has fallen a further 7Yts from £71 Ok in 2023 to £659k in 2024. Primarily, this is a result
of a reducl'on in the number of givers, but it also reflecls the economic environment wilh many worshippers
unable lo give further.
Other aclivily incorne in the General Fund has experienced 29% gro%￿h fr(Yn £224k in 2023 10 £289k in 2024.
HBII rentals, the letllng of Albert R08d {previously housing the youth leader) and increased ParoGhlal fees during
th8 vacancy were the main contributors to this.
While inflallon started to come under ccntrol, it is sadly starting to rise again. Our General Fund spending grew
6¥0 from £966k in 2023 to £1.027k in 2024. However, 2025 wll bring additional employment C051s through
Employers Nl contributions and general cosl of living rises.
With declining income ar7d increased cost pressure5, our General Fund made a deficit of £79k in 2024. This was
anticipated and is in line with the 2024 budget deficit set in November 2023 of £78k. However, the result does
justify the need for everyone (especially those who do not currently give) lo Irelcon5ider their giving.
Other Funds collectively incurred a deficit of £13k. The Project Fund incurred a net deficit of £32k (the surplus
last year arose frorn a sizeable legacy) mainly a5 a result of continuing improvements lo the church e5tale- the
Churchyard Fund incurred a nel surplus of £4k demonstrating how giving and voluntary labour really makes a
difference,. and the new Choral and Organ Scholarship Fund incurred a net surplus of £7k as extemal monie5
were transferred to it to support our growth in this area. The remaining smaller funds grew by £7k mainly as a
result of interest allocation acr05S the funds.
Total fL+nds have reduced lo £7,233k at the year*nd {2023.' £1.325k). This comprises £392k (church houses al
cost) with the balance of £841k mosuy cash which remains invested in saort tem bonds and 'easy a￿ess,
accounts spread across s8veral banks using the Insignis cash management platform. Many of the flxed Inter8st
bonds are still achieving a 5% retum but this thryll decline a5 intsrest rates fall. All have Finan¢ial Service5
Compensation Scheme protecbon.
The decline in General Fund giving will take time to tumaround and the p￿sSUre on expenses will not abate
soon, so w8 expect a Ghallenging 2025 and are budgeting a further loss in the General Fund. Much of Ihe
Projeo Fund is now designated towards the recommendations of the Quinquennial Inspection report which have
now been costed.

opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements. we h8ve conchjded that the trustees. use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on th8 work we have perforyned. we have not Identified any material uncertain118s relating to events or
conditions Ihat, individually Dr collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as
going concem for a period Df at least twelve months from when Ihe financial statements are authori5ed for issue.

audit cwducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstaternents can anse fron) fraud or error and are considered m8terial if, individually or in the aggreg8te, they
could r8asonably be expected to influence Ihe economic d8crsions of users taken on the basis of these financial

linanclal statements or the operations of the charily, including the Charilies Act 2011, laxalion legis181ion and
data protection, anli-bribery, employment and health and safety legislation,.
Additionally. we assessed the susceptibility of Ihe tharitys financlal statements to material misslslemenl,
induding oblairing and understanding how fraud might occur by..
making enquiri8s with trustees a5 to where they considered there was su5￿ptibl1itY to fraud, their knowledge of
actual, suspected and alleged fraud., and
considering the internal controls in ￿ace to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
