TREASURER'S REPORT 2023
This is my thSrd Treasurèrs Rew110 thé APCM. the report has again been pul together with
the invaluable help of Duncan Watts. who again has assisted with some of the more technical
aspects of the accounting profession. We must also thank our examiner John McGh8e who
has stepped in tu provide the necessary independence to these accounts and to Sally for
allowing him.
The day-to-day operation of the church has generated 8 substantial foss of around £30.000.
We did however pay our parish share in full. Thls is by far our greatest expènse, and I know
from conversations with the dlocese how grateful they are that we continue to pay thls.
Allhough this looks substantial tt is artlficially held at a lower amount than the Diocese would
like, due to a maximum percentag8 of any church income that can be paid through the Parish
Share.
This loss Is substantial and in the long temi unsustainable. As ycw hMII be aware there has
been a serviGe and presentation on the issues of the church finances at a recent service. I
hope this was infomative and allowed the congregatlon lo be b6tler infomied on the present
financi21 difficulties.
As set out in the last years report the coming ye8rwll see Signif￿nI cost increases asso¢ialed
with the purchase of energy and ongoing support to the Parish Centre. Unless we
generate a significant in¢rease in bookings at th& Parish Centre the ongoing losses will n&&d
to be subsidised by the Church.
The overall balance sheet has redU￿d by around £30,000 mainty due to the losses we have
incurred supporting the church and the parlsh centre and their day to day operation. It is hoped
that in the coming year we can reduce the amount spent on the maintenanGe of the buildings
however wth both buildings and especial￿ the thurch the work is often unexpected and is
required lo allow the church to run and not to deteriorate.
Can I thank all the people who help me with the finan￿$ of the church, to Val McKenzle for
the envelopes, for Jason Atkinson for dealing with the collections, pelty cash and transferring
this to the bank and also to Karen Selby for taklng on the ro18 of Parish Centre treasurer.
Can I finally thank everyone who contributes to th6 ongolng finances of the church, èlther
through individual donalions or the Central giving Scheme.
