Our total fund5 Stood at £1,823,036 at 31 December 2025 compared to £1,851,837 at 31 December 2024. In 2025 we reiVed restricted Strateglc Development Grant Fundlng (SDFI from Chichester Dlocese of £30k1£38K in the prior year), which covers set LIP and salary costs for the purpose of revitalising the Parish of All Saints, Patcham. SDF part funded staff salaries are paid 100% by the Diocesan grant the first year, but then taper down so that the Parish pays increasing amounts e.g. year 1 66Yo DI0Se133% Parish. year 2= 33% Diocese166% Parlsh, year 3 onwards- 0% Diocese I la0% Parish. Increasing our income is therefore crltlcal In being able to meet these additional salary costs. The PCC Reserves Policy 15 to hold general reseNes of a minimum of three months of normal working expenditure together with an additlonal reseNe, as a designated fund, primarily to meet major, exceptional, or unexpected building malntenance costs or improvements to propertles.
