St Anne's Church, Worksop - Annual Accounts 2024
Financial Statements
Looking back at 2024=
Our 2024 Financial Report and Accounts have now been finalised and signed off by N Williamson & Co, our independent
examiner, and a copy is attached.
GENERAL INCOME
Regular Income has increased by £14,372 this year to £50,024, compared to receipts of £35,652 for 2023. Thi5 is made up
Standing Orders and Contactless giving donation5 increasing by £12,213
Cash collections increasing by £3,660
Envelope and one-off donations decreasing by £1,510
Recharging the Youth Team Leaderfs time spent supporting Outwood Academy Portland. and Children & Family Team
Leader's time assisting St Anne's Primary School, has Eenerated £17,388 of income.
Again, we are extremely thankful for the income received from the Garth Trust this year. The Garth Trust is an independent
trust for the benefit of St Anne's Community. Created in 1971, it has generously supported the work at St Anne's Church
for many years. The trustees are the Vicar, Mr G R Adams and MrT Sorby.
GENERAL EXPENDITURE
The most Significant expenditures are:
Gas & Electricity costs reduced slightly in 2024 by £1,456, to £35,100 contrasted to £36,556 in 2023.
NOTE - Utilities, insurance, supplies etc includes all printing and Hall costs & expenditure this year as the new accounting
system does not separate these costs.
Parish Share increased by £3,156 this year to £66,408 compared to £63,252 in 2023. £57,504 of this has been paid in 2024
and a cheque for £8,904. the final payment, has not been cashed before year end.
Clergy & Staff expenses have increased by £3,857 this year, to £9,515 against last yearfs total of £5,658. This increase is
due to the Staff and Senior Leadership Team growing.
SNDBF Funeral fee5 for 2024 have not been paid this financial year and remain owed.
Maintenance has decreased by £4,890 to £3,664 this year compared to £8,554 in 2023. Most of this expenditure £3,240,
was for the annual Ground5 Maintenance contract. Only £424 has been spent on repairs and statutory inspection.
Obviously, maintenance and repair costs are always variable, fortunately this year has been kind to us and no substantial
repair work has been necessary.
BARCLAYS WEALTH LEGACY FUND
Welham Le
Fund
In 2011, St Anne's PCC received a generous legacy. After tithingi the sum of r180,000 vjas invested in a Barclays Wealth
investment fund, and the PCC designated the legacy to be used to employ a Youth Worker. As our Youth Team Leaderfs
salary 15 now covered by the SDF4 grant, detailed below, the PCC have consequently designated the monies from the
Welham Legacy Fund be used to fund children's and youth's activities to grow our younger congregation.
FABRIC FUND & BELL FUND
The balances of the Fabric Fund and Bell Fund increased slightly due to investment interest. Both fund5 are restricted in
that the funds are for the sole purpose of maintenance of the Church and the Church bells respectively. There are no
current plan5 for any expenditure from either fund.
Page I

GRANTS
We continue to be a Children's and Family Flagship Church and Youth Hub. Subsequently we have been able to claim a
SDF4 (Strategic Development Fund) grant of £26,226 to pay the full salary of our Youth Team Leader and £12,639 towards
the costs of employing our Family and Children Team Leader. These grants have been spent in full during the year.
An SNDBF Grant for £500 to help to support the costs of our new Hope Horizon remains unspent in the year.
RESERVES POLICY
The PCC policy is to ensure that the balance on unrestricted funds equates to at least three months payments from these
funds. Total Annual payments from unrestricted funds in 2024 were £136,128 from the General. Therefore, the target for
2025 is to have a minimum balance of £34,000 in the unrestricted funds.
SUMMARY
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Church Accounting
Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards. Funds are shown as either unrestricted (available for
application on the general purposes of the PCCI, designated Icurrently set aside for a particular purpose by the PCCI or
restricted (available exclusively for a particular purposel. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for
which the PCC is responsible in law, and do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to
another body. All items less than £500 are deemed immaterial and included as sundrie5 unless they are considered relevant
to the reading of the account5. The account5 have been prepared on a receipts and payments bas15 as required due to the
income being less than £250,000.
Although it has been another financially challenging year we continue to see our God-centred work flourish and 8row.
especially within our Children and Youth groups.
The long-term goal of the PCC continues to be that a significant portion of the expenses are covered by donations and gifts
from members of the congregation. The PCC are immensely grateful to all the Church Families whose unfailing generosity
contributes to financially helping to facilitating this.
However, regardless of your generosity, and expenditure being closely monitored by the PCC, operating costs remaining
th
higher than revenue. The General Fund deficit for 2024 was -£20,233. The General Fund15 page of financial statements}
is where the running costs of the Church are paid from. This includes Parish Share, utilities, insurance. repairs &
maintenance of the building and grounds. Clergy & Staff expenses plus a proportion of staff salaries. These costs need to
be paid from income received during the year. Funds of £20.000 have already been transferred from the Welham Legacy
Fund to help to cover this deficit. Clearly, this level of funding from Welham Legacy Fund is not Sustainable long term and
the PCC will evaluate thi5.
We pray that 5t Anne's Church finances will become secure so that God's work, at St Anne's Church and in the community,
can continue to expand.
