ORNERSTONE CHURCH UCKFIELD ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2025 Overall freewill offering is down largely due to a reduction in the congregation. Hall rent is up, due to additional regular long-term tenants. URC Southern Synod gave us a grant to meet the cost of repairs to the retaining wall at the rear of the property. We claimed Gift Aid from the Government. We have arranged an interest-bearing account for funds which form our necessary reserves. Our assessment from CSUA and M&M payments to the URC are now at their -normal level, being annually £18,480 and £2,004 respectively. These will increase during 2025. We continue to receive income from the solar panels and benefit from holding services in the hall during the winter months apart from December. 8. Insurance premiums wlll continue to rise. 9. The retaining wall work cost £26,808 which was fully covered by a grant from URC Southern Synod. 10. Mission payments include everything sent to outside charities, with a large part being to Christian Aid. I l. We now make a regular reimbursement to those who are good enough to arrange the flowers and provide refreshments after services. 12. there was a deficit this year and we have not put anything aside for future repalrs or reserves. This will be for consideration as a matter of urgency. 13. The balance at the bank at 30tn April 2024 then allowed for an outstanding cheque for £74.99 BalanS at the bank accounts at 30tn April 2025 were:_ CAF Bank current account £1,694.15 CAF Bank deposit account £8,178.34 Shawbrook deposit account £8,000.00 Of this total balance, £3,569.84 is earmarked as the "Organ Fund" since the funds were donated for this purpose. The balance available for running costs is therefore £14,302.65 (available balance at 30ID April 2024 was £16,690.72, i.e. a reduction of £2,388.07 over the last 12 months). We need to consider ways of increasing our income and reducing our expenditure wherever possible.
