very popular over the years especially with elderly and isolated people. We welcomed three new volunteers who
regulaTly conlribute to mak¢ the lunch club po￿lble.
An active Pastoral Catt Team continued to meet during the year. Their activiti&s involved rwlar phonc calls to
congregation members who could not attend Church. visits and the taking of Home Communion to congreg*ion
m¢mbers, visits to hospital and general p&storai support. There h&$ also been an increase in regular care home Se￿]C
which are conducted jointly with other churches acro￿ th¢ Bridlington Deanery.
Two members of the PCC sat on the deanery synod during 2024. This provides the PCC with an important link between
the Priory parish and the wider structures of thc church both in the Deanery and the Diocese.
Clergy take the Eucharist to lo¢￿ homes. Clergy and lay people also lead services at residential horn￿ and our clergy
are closely link￿1 and havc very g￿d relationships with a]1 of our local ¥chools, which includes regularly taking
&ssemblics,
Many of the Priory congregation contribute financial support and time to the Dean¢ry's Hope Housing scheme whieh
provides housing for men who would otherwisc be homeless.
FtNAIYCIAL REVIEW
Flnandal posldon
The outgoing resources exceei1ed the in¢oming resources during the year by £9,390. In 2024 the charity h&8 been
notified of £1,000 from legacies (2023 - £425,000). Th¢ Charity has net assets of £1,560,410 of which unrestric*d
reserves amount to £565,419. Cash at bank and in hand amounted to £747,108 at 31 December 2024 (2023 - £512,155).
Prln¢lpal fundlng sour
Donations are the main source of fvnding for the Bridlington Priory.
Reserve8 polley
The PCC is concerned about thc financial costs implicit in holding a building of the age and beauty of the Pri¢Xy.
General liquid Reserves of around 6 months regular expenditure are currently held. It is felt that the ourrent level of
reserves held is nec￿ary both in order to kcq) the Priory in good rqHir and to make the Priory fit for ￿tuTe puryose
while at the same time honouring our Commitment to w0￿hip and mission. Further funding may be required to update
the facilities of the building. The R&serv¢s Policy will be reviewed annually.
At 31 D￿llber 2024, th¢ free Kservas wffe £565,419 (2023 - £580,525).
FufuRE PLAIYS
FUtll￿ plans are to provide both refr￿brnent and toilet facilities in church. The plans for these will be fonned following
meetings of the PCC and disCU￿10n$ with the congregation at thc Annual meeting and then an away day of the PCC.
Plans will then be drnwn up following these discussions and then will be publicly displayed to th¢ COn￿gatIon and the
mmunity for feedbacK before then going fonvards to seek pern]i&8ion$, grants and fundrnising.
A giving campaign will take place in Ea8ter 2025 whtch will also hO￿fUllY include the relaunch of the Triends of
Bridlington Prioty. This is to ty to ensure the financial stability of the church long t¢nn to give opportunities for further
mission and gro￿th of God's kingdom in Bridlington.
