Many of our regular worshiptrrs have not returned after lockdown but our total
receipts of unrestrictsd funds was £64.651, of rywhich £10,572 were unrestrACted
voluntsry donations and legacies.
Our Gift Aid is calculated regularly and we were able to claim £9,684 which is
now OUT reduced average yearly total since the loss of several members of our
congregation.
Total restricted income of £15204 was also received and is detailed in the
flnancial statements.
The planned giving total througb weekly envelopes and standing orders was
reduced but cash collections continue to rise each year.
£62.135 was spent from unrestricted fimds to provide the Christian ministry
from St Paul's Church, including the contribution to the diocesan parish share
