CORNERSTONE CHURCH UCKFIELD NOTES TO ACCOUNTS FOR
TH
PERIOD ENDED 30 APRIL-2024
1. The totals for Envelopes, Standing Orders and Gift Day do include all
Gift aid payments made by members. They are separated only because
of the way in which the income has been received. Overall freewill giving
is up due to an increase in member giving.
2. Hall rent increased; this was mainly from having long-term tenants who
are meeting regularly. We have also had a few ad hoc hirers which also
helps. There is still income from one long term tenant and payment for
storage.
3. Donations are down.
4. Due to gaining access to the Govemment website to claim the tax refund
for the year, we were able to reclaim both this and last year's Gift Aid.
There was a small contribution for a Gift Day.
5. Restricted Funds. The "Organ Fund. forms part of the accounts held
at the Bank but is regarded as 'Restricted Funds. The Members who
used to contribute specifically to the 'Future Repairs. fund, are no
longer with us. These funds were used in repairs and the fund has
ceased.
6. Money received mainly from reimbursements by grants for rear wall
repair, other repairs and heating allowan￿ from URC.
7. Payments to CSUA and M&M (URC) amounted to £16,740.00 and
£2424.00 respectively. This is a decrease compared to the previous
year after discussions with both CSUA and URC about a reduction in
payments due to our financial standing midway through the year. There
will be an increase in the coming year.
8. Decrease in payment for all utilities due to the use of the hall during the
cold months and the generation of energy from the solar panels.
9. An increase in insurance premiums was anticipated and will continue.
10.Due to the retaining wall needing to be repaired, the money received in
grants (ref point 6) was used for this purpose. Roof repairs, the need for
the tree surgeon and general repairs and maintenance make up the
remaining out goings.
11.Mission payments continue to include everything that has been sent to
other outside charities and organisations. as well as outreach to local
school children.
12.Decrease in expenditure on cleaning, cleaner now paid routinely.
13.There was no Capitsl Expenditure this past year due to financial
constraints.
14.There was a small surplus this year due to increased giving from
members and reduction in payments for CSUA and M&M.

Balances at Bank as at 30104124 were as follows:_ Lloyds TSB and CAF Bank
were £1894.56 and £18440.99 respectively, but after allowing for outstanding
cheques and credits, the balances total £20260.56 of which £3569.84 is
earmarked as the 'Organ Fund" This means that the balance available for all
running costs is £16690.72. Bearing in mind the uncertainties due to the
increased cost of living, an aging membership, and the expected increase in
CUSA and M&M assessment payments. It will be necessary to carefully
manage our income and expenditure.
