. ST CUT11B￿￿$
St Cuthberl's is reporting a deficit on unrestricted funds in the year of £49,165 compared
with £34,118 def icit last year. If the depreciation charge is removed then there is a deficit of

giving and the church weekend away. Expenditure increased by £21,741 with the major
increases being work on 4 Cuthbert Road, utility costs. church weekend away and parish
share.
c. IN￿sTm￿NT
Funds held awaiting expenditure and the reserve5 of the PCC are held in charity
appropriate deposit5 and investments bearing interest at competitive rates.
. RM*RVW• Pou¢Y
The PCC reserves policy is to hold sufficient cash balances to ensure that in an unforeseen
emergency situation it can meet all of its financial obligations as and when they fall due.
As a going concern the PCC undertakes a detailed annual budget review and a regular
review of the level of reserves required to maintain cash flow,
The PCC aims to keep at least two months committed running costs in general reserves.
The PCC feels that this sum is adequate to maintain cash flow and would cover any
liabilities that would fall due if the churches were to cease activities with immediate effect.
In all likelihood. any cessation of the churches, activities would most likely be foreseen and
planned so that all of the churches financial obligations were met.
6. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
During the coming year the PCC intend to..
upport staff and congregation5 and welcome the arrival of the ncw Rcctor
Continue to implement the vision for the Parish.
Continue to implement the new structures reouired to deliver the Vision.
Increase and improve the usage of the Upper Room by church and outside groups to
enhance the church'5 ministry.
Continue working towards being carbon neutral by 2030.
Engage with wider church issues including Living in Love and Faith and clergy
wellbeing
Continue to investigate additional ways of increasing funds available to enable us to
