Flnancial R•vlew Tr•asurnrf8 Comm•nts 2023 has been a challerKJing year wilh increased enevJy (x>sts havirHJ a major impact on church financas. Total receipts for the General Fund wwe £99.155 CA)mpared lo £91,330 in 2022. The main reason for the Increase was due to surKlry donatK)n8 in(xeasing by £7,549 so thanks rnust go to all those generous bertsCtC who hBv6 e£)ntribuied to thi8. Total payments for General Furvj we £99.060 rxjmpared lo £87.212 Sn 2022. The major it8m of regu18r expendiiure in 2023 wa6 Parish Share wfftlch amounted to £62,655, an increase of £4,624 on the prevk)us year. The reality of this fiwre is that w8 need to gen8rat8 £172 income every day just lo cover thls on8 cost. On top of this we hav8 th8 usual utility bills such as gas, electric arKI water, which as everyone knows can impact massivety on cash re8ource8. The church d008 hav8 6h resources in the bank but the8e are restrict8d to vital work8 n8c8ssary on the fabric of the church. It Is now essential that we find ways of incr8aslng the day to day incx)me vthilst at the Same tlme. reduciThJ expenditure wtrorever posslble. Whether It is regular giving or Oa$10n81 donations. noed to anwurage the use of Parish Gng Scheme (PGS} and glft abd 8nv8lopes in order that full advantage can b8 made of the Gift Aid scheme and th8 recovery of tax for the b8nefft of the ¢hurth. The church was able to benefft from tax redaim8 of £11,230 in 2023 which was up from £8.802 In 2022. Th8 posltive news for the General FuThJ Is tst Ino%n6 in 2023 just about covered expenditure- by £951 However. we need to en8ure that the positlon 18 improved durlng 2024 80 that we can moot our ReseNe8 Pollcy which 18 rrentlY nol th& case. The Churchyard Fund contlnued to operate wlth u)sts eXeding incorne whlch wa8 rnalnly due to the grass cuttlng costs. The deftii of £3.923 was met from the General Fund. Additional voluntary hdp in the churchyard would help to reduce these costs The Parlsh C8ntr8 Fund alBO operated at a lovel whereby costs exc88d8d Incorne. The deficit of £9,170 was m8t frtyn the General Fund. The main item of expenditur8 was the cost of n8w lighting and rewiring. Thi6 resour(* Is certainly under- utlised and much need8d Income could b8 generated from renting OLrt the space to other organlsations. On a posibve r18, the church was fortun8t8 to benefft from 2 generous bequ8sts In 2023 which were allocated speafically to the Fabric Fund. balance on this Fund stands at £53,636 on 31 December 2023 Rosorvm Poli¢y It Is PCC polty to maintain a balanc8 on unreslrthd furKls (rf possible) of £15,000 as contingenw against unexpected expeThliture.

An examlnatlon Indudes a revlew of the accountlng recorrjs kept by the PCC and a comparlson of the accounts presented wlth those recor(Is. It also Includes conslderatlcn of any unusual Items or dlsdasures In the accounts. and seeklng explanatlons from the PCC conttrnlng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provlde all the evldence that would be requlred In an audlt. and consequently no oplnlon Is glven as to whether the accourts present a and falrf vlew and the report Is Ilmlted to those matters set out In the strtemert below.
