FOR THE YEAR END
Achievements and Porforniance
2024 has seen steady growth in the rnission and mlntstry of the ehur¢h across all age groups, Th15
growth has helped us conslder the different options we provide for people to grow as disciples, a5
well as what it mean5 to represent Fa￿ Oak ond Horton Heath. Consequentlyi we have added
another option Into our 11am servlce and moved our Family@4 gathering into the Horton
Heath Community Centre,
The 5FART course and our faith exploring, actlvities have introduced new people to Jesus aftd thè
Ilfe of the church, our appointment of a Community Builder and a Parish Adrninistrator have added
significant skills and 8iftin8 to ourstsff team and everyone has been enjoying the benefits of the new
heating systems through the thurch t￿ildIngs.
Flnandal Revlew
The following pages show our financial position at the end 012024.
The total Income into St Thomas, Church wès £184,851 in 2024 compared to a total income of
£180,220 in 2023. Our total out80in8s for 2024 were £231,439 compared to £188,245 In 2023.
The difference in the above r￿ureS was supported lry the legacy and project fund, as we installed a
newelectric hejting system in the church as well as new gas boilets inthe extension 2nd the Stables
building. New windows were also fitted to the 8round floor of the Stables and the extension was
redecorated.
Reserves Poli
We previously combined the legacy and project funds together Iiito one figure to help cover the cost
of essential works to the fabric of our Church and associated bulldings.
This legacy and project fund Is the key part of our reserve polcy, which is c105ely monitored and
enables us to have sufficiert reserves, which would cover our runnin8 costs for at least 6 months.
In 2025 we will be Iwkin8 at the p055ibillty of opening UP the extension to prDvlde an out-side seatin8
area as we continue to closely rnonitorthi5fund in relation to maintainin8 our reserve5.
