## **Report of Accounts for 2021** Good morning. Maintaining the Church Accounts is very much a team effort and I extend my thanks to Linda Shelmerdine helping me collate monies and bank them. Can I also thank Ashley, John and Tracy who so carefully count the collections for us every Sunday and Trisha for her support in proof reading and sense checking the first draft of the accounts. And not forgetting Stuart Jones who inspects our accounts so diligently. This year has been a difficult year for all of us learning to deal with Covid and the restrictions it placed on us. Our income increased substantially in 2021, primarily due to **your** generosity with the Easter Gift Day and ongoing donations to our Covid Recovery Fund totalling £14,421. In addition we will have a further £2,300 in our 2022 accounts from the Gift Aid Recovery. We were also helped by having a government grant paid by Stockport Council of £7,850 and Church Hall lettings picking up again, due to the enthusiasm and commitment of our Hall Manager, Lynn Dalton. We also had a very successful Raffle raising £1,165 and Fair and fundraising which brought in £2,371. Last year we were fortunate to have a legacy of £2,000 Income from Planned Giving, Collections and Gift Aid is £71,857 compared to £72,627 the previous year. Fees for baptisms, weddings and funerals etc. are down at £869 (£2,725). With a tight administration the running costs have been held down in almost every area of our church with Outgoings down at £108,633 (£113,346). I would highlight that we are now employing a gardener to maintain our grounds around the Church the costs being £2,304 (£257) The impact of fundraising and government grants is that our reserves have increased to £36,417 from £29,934. In spite of the challenges we faced in the year we still raised £1,223 for Overseas Charities (£874)) and £3,645 for Home Charities (£3,250) ## **In conclusion -:** - Despite this positive news for 2021 our financial position is still very serious. - Our success in 2021 was down primarily to the Easter Gift Day collection, Raffle and the Government Grant, in all totalling £23,436. - From information received I am already aware that our Planned giving will reduce significantly in 2022. - If we are to continue as an independent church, we have to maintain the increased income streams generated in 2022. Otherwise, our reserves could well be used up by the end of 2022 and we may not be able to pay our Parish Share, which has implications going forward. - Your PCC will continue to monitor the position closely and take what initiatives they feel appropriate. **Roger Salt Hon Treasurer** **Church Accounts - Receipts** **2021** **2020** **Unrestricted Restricted** **Total** ## **Total Unrestricted Restricted** |**Incoming Resources from Donors**
