## **– – st Finance Report The Parish of Bury Roch Valley Year ending 31 December 2021** I have continued as treasurer of Bury Roch Valley during 2021. The accounts for both churches are shown within this report alongside a summary of the accounts for the whole parish. I can confirm that the parish share has been paid in full for 2021 and that the accounts have been independently examined as per the requirements of the Charity Commission. 2021 continued to be a challenging year financially for the Parish. Whilst we started to reopen following the lockdown congregation numbers have not bounced back as we would have hoped. End of year balances are as follows: ## **St Thomas:** Current account £150915.55 Match Funding £13330.07 Interior £604.52 Savings £5015.41 Total Balances £169865.55 **An overall deficit of income vs expenditure was seen during 2021 of £5359.** **Gift aid giving was up by 55% 2021 vs 2020 No expenditure which was notable** ## **St Peters:** Current account £4422.49 Savings £5567.70 Gift money £42000.21 Spare account £0.01 Total balances £51990.41 **An overall surplus of income vs expenditure was seen during 2021 of £40529 however when the gift money which has been sent with Simon is stripped out this would then equate to a deficit of £1471. Since Simon has joined us as minister our monthly giving has increased from £1125 to £2437 per month albeit from a small number of new givers. Notable expenditure for 2021 includes the purchase of a new boiler for the Parish room at a cost of £1800** Total balances for Bury Roch Valley carried forward to the start of 2022 is **£221855.96.** During the year, to support the Parish, several of the congregation have switched from envelope and plate giving to regular giving by standing order. I have also received a few donations from individuals. I am incredibly grateful to everyone for their continued support which will help us to continue the work of both churches across the Parish. If you do not currently give regularly by standing order or envelope and would like to please ask myself, Simon or Harvie for details. Equally if you are a taxpayer and do not currently subscribe to gift aid please let me know as the church receives a further 25p for each £1 given, at no cost to yourself. _‘Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly, or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver’_ Carolyn McGloughlin Treasurer April 2022 2021 CBF IncoFnlng Resour jde Gwal Fu Utrestrict R&tricÈd Voluntaryln¢om6 1 Plat[￿ Giving 2 Otty 24060 5608 2092 24060 5608 2092 3.CdlecbonB*Wicé& 4 Al Reclrri￿ DMation& S Al NoTrR&urring D(￿￿h(￿lS 6 Al Tai RecCveradfv￿th &ftAid I Lw85 ReC￿￿v 8 IncThnefrom Grarts & VAT r 51694 7395 51694 7395 AGtl%rflhs forGanwathg FundJ 9 Fur￿ R81sity- Incomolmm Inve5tfflentE 2922 2922 10 Divi(knls, Irrtuest& IncrAnafrcffi ChuKh Adlrftl•% 11 PCC Feas 4651 439 4651 439 12 Ir￿c￿etroM cther ￿[nI￿o￿l08$ Oth•rlncoDJ• 13 Other Irwnlw Re￿re•S 1296 £100 158 1296 £100 158 £0 2021 C8F RwourL¥JU¥d Gwal Fwd Unre5tricttsY Rostricttrj Totsl Coll 010gnw*lng Fund* 11 FU￿ Raising AcUvile8 Church AGtl¥ltl•# 18 missi￿ Giving l D￿8￿C￿9 ksCh¥lle lg DIOC85￿ P￿lS￿S￿•re 335 36290 335 36290 20 S8larlgR 8 W4As 21 Cl¥w Exwws MisBiOll & Evtylam Pr￿￿tr Chrch Rwnlru Ex￿￿&6$ 24 CFuch Ublity Bills 25 C(6ts clTradrvJ 27 MalL¥ repars & Redw8lM CPuch 28 ma1(￿ repar5 & Re￿ra￿(M￿SttE Hai GDvorJJRnce Co*5 4033 4033 15042 6359 15042 6359 1128 1800 1128 1800 Aft OthprPww¥ts N£w BLrildingW £64 988 £35 170 £0 £0 £64 988 £35 171 Suvp￿￿[D•f￿It? ft*rth•Y•3r ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE PCC OF ROCH VALLEY** I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act - follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the independent examiner’s report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or - to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
