The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Holmer Jvith Huntin ort of the Trustees for tbe Year Ended 31 December 2023 ton Financial Review 2023 Firstly, lets us give thanks to our heavenly Father who by his grace meets all our financial needs. We a busy church with many activities and four buildings to care for, this rneans that we need to ensure our money is used wisely after careful consideration bv our PCC. It is important that we fund adequately our activities such as chip and chips, Sunday Clubs, training and outreach into the MmunIty. We also need to ensure that our buildings are maintained to a high standard and make improvements when necessary. This year the lighting in the parish church was completely replaced at a cost of £1 0.316. the vast majority of the money needed coming from generous donations from church tncmbcrs. It was necessary to complete quinquennial work at St Marys. this included major repairs to the roof, at a cost of £9,196. We also incurred large costs at the parish church in order 10 carry out vital repairs. These expenditures and other running costs mean that our year end c&sh balance is greatly reduced compared with that of 2022. However. we have no outstanding debits and our £20.000 reserves are still available. I would to take this opportunity to thank everyone most sincerely for their generous giving during the year, through the Parish Giving Scheme, by cash or cheque. The greai thing about the PGS is that the money given and the Gift Aid are both paid directly into our cash account as Tegular monthly payments. which helps OUT cash flow. The main funds for the charity are held in two accounts, a CAF {Charities Aid Foundation) account and a CIOF deposit account. which both hold restricted and unrestricted fimds. In addition there are two designated funds held tn separate bank accounts. Junior Church and Busy Bees. Throughout 2023, all these fimds have had cr¢dit balances. The PCC are pleased to report that the Parish Share was paid in full for 2023 As in previous years, the work of the thrtt churches continued with the church centre and St Mary's being used well to support community groups and church outreach and at the same time generate substantial revenue. Reserves, Polley The PCC has agreed to keep at least £20,000 in reserve to cover at least three months of general operating expenditure in case of an cmergency Tntemiption to OUT regular income c&sh flow. If our reserves fall below £20,000 then we would need to have an emergency rneeting of the PCC to consider a suitsble course of action and response. This policy will be reviewed annually by the PCC.
