This is mainly managed through a group called LINKS vtho pray monthly for projects and people Wa hav8 conn8Ctions with. FINANCIAL REVIEW Flnanclal posltion Th8 2024 Budget was sel inline wilh prevlous 8xpèrfenc8 vtss s8l to be a balanced budget to support th6 ne6ds of the churGh whilst maintaining a the reserves policy as set by the PCC. As such a small Surplus £12.928 was present at the end of the year wlth net assels of £89.444 being maintained above the reserves level. The Income for the year is almost entirely voluntsry giving from church members. There is extensive use of lax efficient giving using gift ald and payroll giving. Nèw m8mb8rs ar8 8ncouraged to commit to regular giving at the sarne time as commltllng to regular attendance and becoming part of our WOrshping communlly. Total Income for 2024 was £228.139, Total 8xpendltur8 was £215.211 0flICh £65,624 was our Common Fund payment- a conlr5butlon lo th8 work of th8 Church of England acT066 the Diocese of Derby. Staff wages account for £45,402 and other fixed costs such as eleclricitylgas, insurance and upkeep ol the building accounting for £71.556. The Net Income lor the year was £12,928 leavlng net assets of £89.444 thich has Increased io above our reseNe basellne set by the PCC largèly du8 to savings dve lo lower slaff costs. Investment Pollcy and ObJectlves 11 Is our pollcy to Invest funds with the COIF chUh of England Deposll Fund.

Currently the sum considered lo cover these potential oulgoings is £20,000. Our end of year net assets position 1$ £89,444. Our 2024 budg8t has bè8n set to be a balanced budgel of expendilure againsl realistic income forecasl. W6 plan to review tha budget during the year and will respond as appropriate if incom8 doès not match 8xpectations, h)oking to reslrict expendlture further If11 Is lower and release addition81 spending If it 15 higher. Golng concern Nearly all our charity income comes from planned giving from the congregation, who give through regular standing orders and payroll giving. Much of Ihis qualifies for Gfft Aid. Our income fom room hire has increased, although Ihis is not yel a slgnlflcanl income. We are encouraged that giving to Ihe church has remalned broadly in line with previous pre-pandemic years and we have been able to malnlain our charitable purposes. On Ihe whole we were able to meet our budget in 2024, although in some areas we spent below whal w8 had budgeled a5 some minislries were not fully active through the year, We remain confident that the Charity can continue as a going Goncem.
