## **Financial review for year ending 31st December 2024**
You will probably recall that last year I began by saying that 2023 had proved to be an extremely challenging year from a financial perspective at Saint Andrews, and I recommended that we urgently address the shortfall in our funds. The PCC agreed to do this in three ways: by reviewing church staffing levels; by looking at the cost of hall hire (which hadn’t been increased for many years); and by keeping expenditure under regular review via PCC and standing committee meetings. As additional contingency, the PCC gave their permission to contact the donors to the Children and Youth Work restricted fund to request their permission for a change of use.
As a consequence of our actions I’m pleased to report that this year our financial position is significantly more stable than last year. However, this stability has not been achieved without some painful decisions being made around staffing levels. Sadly we had to make our church administrator and Celebrate Recovery leader redundant. I’m extremely grateful for their understanding and cooperation during this challenging period, and I’d personally like to thank them both for their hard work and dedication to Saint Andrews over the years.
On a more positive note, 2024 has seen an increase in income from church hall lettings. This has risen from £9,672 to £14,414. This increase is the result of the completion of the review of rent charges to groups using the halls. We believe the new charge structure is much fairer to all groups who use our buildings. The charges will be reviewed annually moving forward.
2024 has also seen a new designated fund for Children and Youth work being opened. Permission was granted by donors to transfer the majority of the restricted funds to the new designated fund, giving us more flexibility for the use of the money within the fund.
I’m pleased to be able to report that this year our total income has increased by a staggering £55,995. Gift aided giving is up by £12,000. Ad hoc donations have increased by £2,000. A significant chunk of this figure is from donations made via the new card reader. We have also seen an increase in one off gift aided donations of £12,000. Finally, we have received grants for preparation work on the church hall refurbishment in excess of £25,000.
The trustees would like to thank all those who continue to give so selflessly towards God’s work in Clubmoor in spite of challenging circumstances. I’d like to thank all those who have contributed towards the increase in income, whether this be by personal donations, arranging grants, or agreeing to pay more for hall use. This increase is a real testimony to God’s goodness, and also to your personal generosity and desire to see God’s kingdom flourish in Clubmoor.
Another positive note saw our total expenditure for the year drop from £154,000 in 2023 to £147,000 in 2024, meaning we recorded an excess of income over expenditure of £33,514.
We still retain £9,994 in our reserve fund. This has dropped from £22,522 last year. The money drawn was used to pay staff redundancies and outstanding bills.
We are obliged to declare payments to staff who are also trustees. During 2024, Marie Jenkinson received £4,098.47 wages (2023 - £10,142) and £6,517.80 redundancy (2023 - £0), making a total of £10,616 in her capacity as church administrator (2023 - £10,142). Karen Speariett received £2,881.44 wages (2023 - £10,287) and £1,267.35 redundancy (2023 - £0) in her capacity as Celebrate Recovery Lead and verger, making a total of £4148.79 (2023 - £10,287). I can confirm that neither Marie nor Kallie received payments in their capacity as church trustees.
I am very grateful to be able to sign off my time as Treasurer at Saint Andrews with what I believe to be a positive set of accounts and an outlook into the future that is much more hopeful. With our move towards the new large parish of Christ Our Hope imminent, a significant chunk of the work I have been responsible for will now transfer to the administration team within Christ Our Hope. Saint Andrews will still need volunteers to assist with the finances - albeit at a lower level of commitment – specifically the keying in of financial details and also the monitoring of our financial expenditure. We see these two new roles as significantly less of a burden on individuals than the existing treasurer’s role. If you are able to offer any assistance, let me encourage you to talk with either myself or Will Gibbons (our vicar) for more details.
