St Michaels Flixton 2024 Accounts and Financial Re Treasurers Report The church has closed the year with a loss of £9116 which can be attributed to the increase in running costs and paying in full of Parish Share. The church has been fully operational during 2024, income from planned giving, collection plate and donations has increased on the prior year. At £44945 Ft is an 40% increase on last year and is more in line with getting back to previous leve15. Fee income net of disbursements has started to increase again to £20543. Income from activities to generate funds has increased from 2023 to £20543. The majority of this was due to the continuing tenancy agreement on the croft flat during 2024 and an increase in the rent. Once again much hard work was placed on fvndraising activities with a total of £7215 generated from fairs, cake sales, cream teas and coffee mornings. choir concerts. carols, Djing and appeals. This was a slight drop on last year but possibly attributed to changing the date of the fares may have coincided with holidays. The PCC managed to pay IIXI% of its parish share. Much work continues to be done on looking at building work for the church whilst keeping in mind a reserve of £40K. Church running expenses continued to be high due to heating charges. The gas contract renewed in May 24 and whilst it had increased substantially a deal for 12 months ensured the bill didn't increase by 50%. Whilst costs haven't reduced due to further economic uncertainty much hard work has been done to ensure a competitive long term fixed deal is sought in 2025. The Nest thermostat installed continues to support our endeavours to keep energy costs as low as possible. Work continues to make the church more feasible and sustainable for all in the future and this continues to be an ongoing situation. Reserves are being held at £40,OLK) which gives us 2/3 months operating costs and building costs of £20,000 as much focus has been put on satisfying the Parish Share as others are less fortunate in some areas. I would like to thank you, all members of St Michaels Church for your generosity in 2024, whether that be through financial gNing or donating yourtime. It really is truly appreciated. With thanks, Janice Holland, Treasurer
