Financial Review Total receipts for 2020 were £108.Ik of which £104.Ik were unTeslricled and of that £84.8k were voluntary donations (including a £20k one-off gift). Restricted donaiions of £2.8k were also received. Following a financial review in November 2019, planned giving increased in 2020 by 8.9% on the previous year. Despite the effects of the Covid pandemic, monthly standing order income remained steady throughout the year, unlike loose cash collections. which fell dramatically by 80% due to the necessary closure of church and Covid restrictions when open. The long-ternl letting of St Ciements Hall continues to bring in an income of £15k for the year. £105k h&s been spent from restricted. designated & unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry of Enllnanuel Church. This includes our parish contribution to the Chichester diocese of £57k. which increased this year by 55% and pays towards the stipend and housing for the clergy, along with a contribution towards central costs. It is recognised by the Chichester diocese that the Hastings deanery churches are in an area of high social deprivation. So although churches are encouraged to meet their Parish costs it is understood that this is not always achievable. Emmanuel church managed to pay 80% of its costs for ihis year, an increase of 1% on 2019. The other large expenditure of £27.4k is for salaries for both ollr Families Worker and Administrator, which has been met mainly from Testricted funds where possible and the balance from unrestricted funds, as budgeted. Very little buildings and maintenan(t work has been carried out this year due to Covid restrictions. Restricted funds have seen an expected net deficit over the year of £12.4k wbilsi general funds have increased by £15.5L Resulting in a total net illcre&se in funds of £3.1k. Reserves Policy It is PCC wlicy to maintain an unrestricted and undesignated rese￿¢ balan￿ of at least 3 months unres(riLied expenses. this equates 10 £22.2k. Total reserves stand at £64.6k at 31 December 2020, £60k in general unrestricted reserves with a fiffther £4.6k in restricted funds.
