The sum that churches in the Di￿eSe have to find is shared according to a formula that tskes account of the size of congregations and Income ￿ceiVed by PCCS. ilst no costs were incurred on the church fabric. this was the result of a deliberate pOI￿Y of raising the funds needed for more significant repairs in the wming year8. £29,451 was expended on running the Communty Centre.

2022 REPORT 8 Treasure￿5 repo￿. Chris Jones From a'technic81° point ofview. the accourrts shThv a Surplus of receipts over payments of£18,488. This can splst into 4 component parts.. The genernl lund a surpth of £1,452. being18rgely the result of 8 grnnl of £9￿1 recelved from the diocese to help cover the increase in fuel bills eXp￿ted in 2023. However. this masks our Inabilty to meet our Parish Share ￿MmItr￿ents to the diotsse in full. We We￿ able to make paywnts for £14.5CK) (up from £13.300 in 2021) against a share request of £33,262. Ag8inst this bad(drop ti was welcDme to see voluntary ￿1p1S of £21.583 (excluding Gift Aid claimed) increase slighty over the levels seen in 2021 {£21,131). Gift Aid ￿ceIptS in 2021. were £4,603, though it must be stressed that relates largety to givTrng occurring in 2020. As prewou$ty stated we were unable lo meet ourPari8h Share ccmmtimenlg in fvll, and our payment of £14,5￿ was under half of our assessed amwnt as we juggkd this with the cost5 relating to the ¢hurch building. The parish share is the most important payment ihe PCC makes. being our commltment lo the wider churth and wilhoul thls the dI0￿e v￿Uld not be able lo support Ils parl$he$ through the pthsion of Parish Prfe$ts and other re8ource8. Overall costs incurred in njnning Ihe church vfft reduced slighty from £28,119 to £27.544 largely the result of no major repairs to the church fabric having been incurred (in 2021 there were costs of £1,000 incurred in repairing Ihe bc4Jndary wall). Along with parish share payment5 the main expenditure related to utilities and Insuran￿ for th8 churd). These V￿re £566 higher than in 2021 and eyec the9e costs to increase fvrther in 2023. As was the case In 2021, the bulk of fvnd-rai3ing actlvlty was concentrated on bojsting the fabric fund, so that future building repairworks can be caryied ￿t. This benig the case just under £2.000 was raised for the general lund through fvndraising. The fabrfc fund Increased by £11.947 bekng18roety the result offimd ralslng activty along with the proceeds from the Weekty Tea Dan￿. In additton 50% of the grft aid income was allocated to the fabric fund in order to allow tho quinquennlal ￿ChItect.5 in3pecbon, which wli I take place In 2023 to be lunded. During the year Ihare were a number of sur£essful fund raising activities that took plac£, including concerts, the Easter and Chrfslmas Fayres and a MrtU81 balloon race. to mentson just a few. Many thanks are due to everyone who has been involved In spending Ihe time to arrange these events and for eVery￿e v4kno supported them in any way. The PCC supported mission through a number of grants. with 8 organisalions, including Ihe Welco￿￿ Centre and Huddersfieid Missron ￿ceIV￿1g grants of £250, full details being In the accountg. As in previous years a number of other collections 5pecffically for other causes were facilitated through the PCC. Funds relating lo the C(Nnmunity Centre in(¥eased by £5.IA2 during the year. which was boosted by a donation of £1,875 following the winding up of the Cltffites. 14

Rental income during the year was £32,170. of which c. £5,OW related to the use of the centre as a vaccination centre. which may not be replicated in fvture yea￿. A full yearfs worth of usage say eJpendituTr increase from just over £24.0(M) to £29,451. The main factors behind this being increased cleaning cosls of c.£2.1(Kl and cleaning material costs of c￿1.￿0 as 8 result of the centre being oper8tional for 12 months. In additson we saw utility bi119 increase by c.£2.400. We woukl expect to a further significant uplrfi in utility costs in 2023. and ag a result of significantly increased energy tariffs. Finally there was an increase in the value of the Barfow Bequest of £27 being interegt paid on Ihe balance. Reserves are held in order to a88lSt the PCC in meeting unexpected o)sts. It remains a concem that our General Reserve Fund On￿ has a nominal amount ￿￿thin it. However given the current inability to make parish share pa￿ents in fyH, il would nol be appropriate lo start building this up at the cuffent lime. The Community Centre 3inking fvrKI stands at £39.302 Induding the unused element (£20.CrfXI) of the Corona-vlrus support grant re￿Ived in 2020. The Fabric Fund now stsnds at £20.844. The fijnd has grth￿ durlng the y88r as a result of specrflc donations and the lund-ralsing Income vthich was 'designaled' to the fabfic fvnd. H(wever the expe¢ted costs of full restoration m&an that much furlher &li¥ity wlll be required In 2023. Looking foNtsrd, 2023 wlll again be a Challenging year financially given the drfficultieg we have in generating the funds to cover 811 of our co$t$. In particular the￿ remains the continuing disparty be￿een our income 8nd the level of our Parish Share assessment. whkth now stands al £33,962 for 2023. Along wllh the need to ralse slgnlficanl funds to resth wr church bulldlng. As the thurch is funded by its members {we have no other lo￿ Offinan￿81 support) it is important that we respond appropriately. If we want lo be a grLMiing and forward I￿king church we have lo remember that we have lo pay for it. ￿lISt our primary focus shoukl be on looking lo see how we can grow membership and faith. I would encourage everyone lo consider the level of ffinandal support that they can provrde. I should like to finish ty thanking all those who have made my job as Treasurer easier over the last year. In particular, our churchwardens Vd & Ann. along with ￿dre￿ for her tireless I￿rk in managing the Community Centre. 1 should also like to Ihank Charfes Ard(le88. our Independent Exarnlnor for his as$ist8nek in producing these accounts and. last but by no means least. every¢Me wtthin the pafish for your generous givlng both of money and Ilme. without whith the parish woul(1 not be able to fvnctton.
