NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
-
Included in Choir expenditure within St Johns Church are payments to the Music Fund. In previous years these payments were to the organist, however these are now waived by him and are credited to the Music fund which is used to finance musical activities at the Church.
-
The impact of COVID lockdowns has continued to have a sigmificant effect on income and is largely responsible for then deficit on General fund which has largely been offset by the transfer of £9500 (2020 £30800) from special purposes fund in addition to the surpluses generated on Hall lettings. It seems unlikely that the deficit on General Fund will be recovered through normal activities
of the Church and a further tranfer of funds from designated funds in the future may be required
