held al Willington on 29" June and a meeting of the four PCCS
Mice have been a major problem in the church and in the vestry where several

STWYSTANS CHURCH
YEAR END ACCOUNTS
AND
FINANCAL STATEMENT
ST
31 DECEMBER 2024

This concludes myfirstfullyear asTreasurer of StWy5tans Church. It continuesto be a learningcurve but
thankfully l am now better informed to provide a more cornprehensive statement and report.
A massive thank you once again must go to au our regular gvers, those who give regularly at our services
and those who pay bystanding ordersthroughoutthe year. This is supplemented by individual donations
and other financial contributions throughout th8 year. Without this incredible generosity from everyone
concerned our Church would notsurvive.
I have provided a summary of the accounts as follows:
We have seen a 20% reduction in fvingfrom gift aid envelopes at services. This includes regU￿r giving
envelop8s and white gift aid envelopes. The amount received through our on-Une gtsndlng orders has
increased by 1.66%.
There has also been a 20% reduction in cash receipts, and 11% raduction in church box cash receipts.
HoV￿ver. an increase in the use of the sum up machlne. although this was only installed around June
2023 so not a full year for comparison. This reinforces the current decline in cash usage and further
highlights the use & need for both on- line & electronic grvingoptions movingforward.
We have shown a good increase in our receipts for other donation5 & proceeds fmm events. mainly due
to a legacy given of £5000.00 from the late Jan Roberts forwhich we are truly grateful. There was also a
donation ot £1897.00 gratefully received from FRPC for the cost of purchase for a new iawnmower.
Fund ra1s1ngshov￿ a good increase of £1844.69 on the previous year. Well doneto all in the Social
committee team who have helped & contributed throughout the year.
th
We successfully submitted a claim to the Listed Fiaces of Worship Grant scheme for reimbursement of
our VATcosts associated with the repair& maintenance of the building. This resulted in a receipt for
£3133.31. The balance of £8658.82 from HMRC tsx repayments is relevant to claims for Gift aid on
donations we re¢erve. Thanks to Simon Mann for submitting these gift aid Giaim8 throughout the year.
Our income fromweddings and Funeratsfell sharply mainty dueto no weddings being held at St
Wystans duringthe year. Thankyou both Wendy Longden &Tricia Brooks for admin & collecting monies.
There was a sharp fall in diocese recelpts be¢8use V￿ can no longer claim forvisiting clergy now that we
are no longer in Vacancy. Th8flip side is a reduction in paymentsto visitingclergyasyou c8n see.
The grant from South Derbyshlre DC was from our Closed Churchyard application. This then goes to the
Churchyard fund for any subsequent expendFture.
Utilltles {Gas. Electric, Water) has increased by 27961£1730) over 2023. We changed our supplier in
March 2024 giving us much lower unit rates, from the end of March. Apparently. the Electric readings we
were giving prior to swrtchingwere in fact the wrong way round i.e. providing night readings for the day
usage, so this meant an uplift in cost for the final electric bill issued. However, movingforward thereafter
our unit rates are much better, and both gas & electric are now Smart meters. Our g8$ usage has
Increased signtficantly compared to 2023 hence a major factor in the increased cost. One reason for
thiswas a lengthy boiler breakdown in 2023.

Churchyard includes cost for the purchase of a new18wnmower £1915.68. We did receive the donation
of21897.00 from FRPC. which was verywelcome.
Our Insurance costs have increased around 5%.
Clergy payments include a contribution of £1000.￿ towards the cost for a new PC and associated ttems
for Rev Steve. This was paid from a grant received from the Thurston fund. Thls was approved by the
Thurston fund trustees.
Payment to the Vlliage Magazlne committee was due to the closure and transfer of this account In full.
Ourcontribution to the Dlocese Common Fund w8s £28,818.00 (an increase of £14,745.50 over 2023).
The requestfor 2024from the Diocese was in fact for£39,638, butyou will see from our General accounts
receipts & paymonts this would not have been possible given the level of income. We always strive to
contribute as much as we can each year. However, this is a considerable improvement from 2023.
Payments to Good Causes was £2438.70. See separate table of beneficiaries and amounts donated.
In summary if you exclude fund transfers and transactions associated with the Magaiine acc closure, our
'Trading' receipts & payments oomparison is as follows:
Receipts 2024 £70,164.00 (2023 £69.662.00) and Payments 2024 £76.642.00 (2023 £60,648.00). Increase
in payments mainly attributable to the Common Fund.
Glft aided donations increased slightly by £104 for the year to £1214. There was also a Donation from
FRPC of £5000 as a contribution towards the costs associated with the Chancel Stonework.
As you will see there was a significant increase in expenditure duringthis period compared to 2023. The
main elements being as follows: £8748.OOforworks relatingto moving Choir pew, steps and glazed
hatches. £12393.12 for works relating to Chancel stonework repairs plus associated Architects.
Consultants and specialist's costs of £3083.80. Boller rep8irs & malntenance cost £1814.60. The
repainting of the Rainwater downpipeg cost £1184.46. Roof repalrs W￿re carried out for £974.88.
Repairs to the Church clock strlke hammer cost £828.00. There was also a new hearlng loop system
Installed & maintained at a Cost of £746.00. We were able to reclaim VAT where applicable {see recelpts)
Given the level of income & expenditure this account remains challenging. However. fortunately we still
have good balances remainingin our CBF deposit and investmentfunds which continue to supplement
the shortfalls each year. But this could be 8 concern if Current levels of expenditure are maintained. Any
donations we can receive from FRPC are a great help too.
In summary and consideringthe monieSv￿Were able to transferfrom ourvarious CBF d8POSitfunds
held with the CCLA, this produced a combineLJ end ol year deficit of-£11.722.56.
The deposit funds held with the CCLA have given a good rate of return, around 5%, during the year.
Monies held and transferred from these funds arefor specific receipts & payments made relevantto tha
fund forwhich itwhat was intended. (please refertothe fund accounts and transfer sheet). We receive
specific donations into our General currentaccount or Fabric accountforthe variousfunds and these
monies can then be used to pay for a certain 8xpenditure or alternatively tr8nsferred to the appropriate
fund to earn interest and pay for future expenditure. Following the legacy from the late Jan Roberts we
were ableto dep08il £4000.00 into our Generaldepositfund to earn interestand forftrture general
unrestricted use as Jan eXpr&￿lY wished.

new CCLAfunds were set up in 2024. namely Choir Fund and Messy Church Fund. The Choir fund
was previously accounted for inthe Generalfund and Messy Church Fund was set upfollowinga
generous individualdonation.
Funds from the Thurston Ireland Fund and Vicarage Trust fund are held in the CCLA CBF deposit accounts
in the name of the Church. They are not included in these accounts as the PCC members are not
trustees, however monies can be transterred for specific purposes in accordance with the deeds, by prior
agreement and authorisation by the trustees. Any fund transfers during the year are indicated accordlngly
on the
A big thankyou must go to the visiting clergywho have served us so well during the early part of the year
during our time of vacancy, and those who continue to support Rev Steve whenever needed. As in 2023
we were able to claim for any associated costs (exc travel) up until Rev Steve's arrNal
The Magazlne fund & account is managed separately from the other Church funds. In 2024 the PCC
agreed thatthe Magazine CCLAdepositfund and Lloyds current account, should be closed and
transferred in its entiretyto the Village News Magazin8 committee. This is because for several years the
administration and decision making has been done bythewti￿ge Magazine cornmittee themselves. so it
made sense forthem to controlallfinancial affairs too. Acopy of the accounts UP tilldate of closure &
transfer is attached for information.
The PCC has previously deposited money in a Money Spider account based in Swadlincote, whlch is now
administered by the Derbyshlre Community Bank Their website provides details of their services. Thig
amount is shown in our statement of Assets.
The overall impactto our Statement otA8sets & Uabiutles is a compared to our
2023figure.
I would like totakethis opportunitytothank our Independent Examiner D8vid Bellwho came forward in
difficult circumstances at such short notice to help last year and has continued to provide his services for
this year.

STWYSTANS CHURCH
YEAR END ACCOUNTS
AND
FINANCAL STATEMENT
ST
31 DECEMBER 2024

This concludes myfirstfullyear asTreasurer of StWy5tans Church. It continuesto be a learningcurve but
thankfully l am now better informed to provide a more cornprehensive statement and report.
A massive thank you once again must go to au our regular gvers, those who give regularly at our services
and those who pay bystanding ordersthroughoutthe year. This is supplemented by individual donations
and other financial contributions throughout th8 year. Without this incredible generosity from everyone
concerned our Church would notsurvive.
I have provided a summary of the accounts as follows:
We have seen a 20% reduction in fvingfrom gift aid envelopes at services. This includes regU￿r giving
envelop8s and white gift aid envelopes. The amount received through our on-Une gtsndlng orders has
increased by 1.66%.
There has also been a 20% reduction in cash receipts, and 11% raduction in church box cash receipts.
HoV￿ver. an increase in the use of the sum up machlne. although this was only installed around June
2023 so not a full year for comparison. This reinforces the current decline in cash usage and further
highlights the use & need for both on- line & electronic grvingoptions movingforward.
We have shown a good increase in our receipts for other donation5 & proceeds fmm events. mainly due
to a legacy given of £5000.00 from the late Jan Roberts forwhich we are truly grateful. There was also a
donation ot £1897.00 gratefully received from FRPC for the cost of purchase for a new iawnmower.
Fund ra1s1ngshov￿ a good increase of £1844.69 on the previous year. Well doneto all in the Social
committee team who have helped & contributed throughout the year.
th
We successfully submitted a claim to the Listed Fiaces of Worship Grant scheme for reimbursement of
our VATcosts associated with the repair& maintenance of the building. This resulted in a receipt for
£3133.31. The balance of £8658.82 from HMRC tsx repayments is relevant to claims for Gift aid on
donations we re¢erve. Thanks to Simon Mann for submitting these gift aid Giaim8 throughout the year.
Our income fromweddings and Funeratsfell sharply mainty dueto no weddings being held at St
Wystans duringthe year. Thankyou both Wendy Longden &Tricia Brooks for admin & collecting monies.
There was a sharp fall in diocese recelpts be¢8use V￿ can no longer claim forvisiting clergy now that we
are no longer in Vacancy. Th8flip side is a reduction in paymentsto visitingclergyasyou c8n see.
The grant from South Derbyshlre DC was from our Closed Churchyard application. This then goes to the
Churchyard fund for any subsequent expendFture.
Utilltles {Gas. Electric, Water) has increased by 27961£1730) over 2023. We changed our supplier in
March 2024 giving us much lower unit rates, from the end of March. Apparently. the Electric readings we
were giving prior to swrtchingwere in fact the wrong way round i.e. providing night readings for the day
usage, so this meant an uplift in cost for the final electric bill issued. However, movingforward thereafter
our unit rates are much better, and both gas & electric are now Smart meters. Our g8$ usage has
Increased signtficantly compared to 2023 hence a major factor in the increased cost. One reason for
thiswas a lengthy boiler breakdown in 2023.

Churchyard includes cost for the purchase of a new18wnmower £1915.68. We did receive the donation
of21897.00 from FRPC. which was verywelcome.
Our Insurance costs have increased around 5%.
Clergy payments include a contribution of £1000.￿ towards the cost for a new PC and associated ttems
for Rev Steve. This was paid from a grant received from the Thurston fund. Thls was approved by the
Thurston fund trustees.
Payment to the Vlliage Magazlne committee was due to the closure and transfer of this account In full.
Ourcontribution to the Dlocese Common Fund w8s £28,818.00 (an increase of £14,745.50 over 2023).
The requestfor 2024from the Diocese was in fact for£39,638, butyou will see from our General accounts
receipts & paymonts this would not have been possible given the level of income. We always strive to
contribute as much as we can each year. However, this is a considerable improvement from 2023.
Payments to Good Causes was £2438.70. See separate table of beneficiaries and amounts donated.
In summary if you exclude fund transfers and transactions associated with the Magaiine acc closure, our
'Trading' receipts & payments oomparison is as follows:
Receipts 2024 £70,164.00 (2023 £69.662.00) and Payments 2024 £76.642.00 (2023 £60,648.00). Increase
in payments mainly attributable to the Common Fund.
Glft aided donations increased slightly by £104 for the year to £1214. There was also a Donation from
FRPC of £5000 as a contribution towards the costs associated with the Chancel Stonework.
As you will see there was a significant increase in expenditure duringthis period compared to 2023. The
main elements being as follows: £8748.OOforworks relatingto moving Choir pew, steps and glazed
hatches. £12393.12 for works relating to Chancel stonework repairs plus associated Architects.
Consultants and specialist's costs of £3083.80. Boller rep8irs & malntenance cost £1814.60. The
repainting of the Rainwater downpipeg cost £1184.46. Roof repalrs W￿re carried out for £974.88.
Repairs to the Church clock strlke hammer cost £828.00. There was also a new hearlng loop system
Installed & maintained at a Cost of £746.00. We were able to reclaim VAT where applicable {see recelpts)
Given the level of income & expenditure this account remains challenging. However. fortunately we still
have good balances remainingin our CBF deposit and investmentfunds which continue to supplement
the shortfalls each year. But this could be 8 concern if Current levels of expenditure are maintained. Any
donations we can receive from FRPC are a great help too.
In summary and consideringthe monieSv￿Were able to transferfrom ourvarious CBF d8POSitfunds
held with the CCLA, this produced a combineLJ end ol year deficit of-£11.722.56.
The deposit funds held with the CCLA have given a good rate of return, around 5%, during the year.
Monies held and transferred from these funds arefor specific receipts & payments made relevantto tha
fund forwhich itwhat was intended. (please refertothe fund accounts and transfer sheet). We receive
specific donations into our General currentaccount or Fabric accountforthe variousfunds and these
monies can then be used to pay for a certain 8xpenditure or alternatively tr8nsferred to the appropriate
fund to earn interest and pay for future expenditure. Following the legacy from the late Jan Roberts we
were ableto dep08il £4000.00 into our Generaldepositfund to earn interestand forftrture general
unrestricted use as Jan eXpr&￿lY wished.

new CCLAfunds were set up in 2024. namely Choir Fund and Messy Church Fund. The Choir fund
was previously accounted for inthe Generalfund and Messy Church Fund was set upfollowinga
generous individualdonation.
Funds from the Thurston Ireland Fund and Vicarage Trust fund are held in the CCLA CBF deposit accounts
in the name of the Church. They are not included in these accounts as the PCC members are not
trustees, however monies can be transterred for specific purposes in accordance with the deeds, by prior
agreement and authorisation by the trustees. Any fund transfers during the year are indicated accordlngly
on the
A big thankyou must go to the visiting clergywho have served us so well during the early part of the year
during our time of vacancy, and those who continue to support Rev Steve whenever needed. As in 2023
we were able to claim for any associated costs (exc travel) up until Rev Steve's arrNal
The Magazlne fund & account is managed separately from the other Church funds. In 2024 the PCC
agreed thatthe Magazine CCLAdepositfund and Lloyds current account, should be closed and
transferred in its entiretyto the Village News Magazin8 committee. This is because for several years the
administration and decision making has been done bythewti￿ge Magazine cornmittee themselves. so it
made sense forthem to controlallfinancial affairs too. Acopy of the accounts UP tilldate of closure &
transfer is attached for information.
The PCC has previously deposited money in a Money Spider account based in Swadlincote, whlch is now
administered by the Derbyshlre Community Bank Their website provides details of their services. Thig
amount is shown in our statement of Assets.
The overall impactto our Statement otA8sets & Uabiutles is a compared to our
2023figure.
I would like totakethis opportunitytothank our Independent Examiner D8vid Bellwho came forward in
difficult circumstances at such short notice to help last year and has continued to provide his services for
this year.
