INCOME
This year saw our parish being showered with donations and grants from a variety of sources, which paid for:
-
●The removal of the mural thanks to the generous donation of St Matthews Church, Fulham
-
●The Bike Project, Sutton Community Action
-
●Zumba Classes -grant from Sports England
-
●Decoration of St Peter’s Hall-Diocese
-
●Set up of the Cafe at Bishop Andrewes’
-
●Grant to help with fuel costs-courtesy of the Diocese
-
●New noticeboard-Courtesy of Tracy’s old church in Rayleigh
-
●The church recently received another grant, which will be used to refurbish the kitchen at BA.
Giving from the congregation increased significantly by 85% , which in turn meant we were able to reclaim more under the gift aid scheme.
If you are a taxpayer and have not yet signed up for gift aid and you would like to or would like further . information, please see Rebecca or myself
Hall hire continues to provide a steady source of income, although there was a slight drop from 2021. Despite this, we have been blessed to be able to use both churches and their halls, as hubs for events that are making connections and serving the local community.
EXPENSES
Expenses have increased and like the rest of the nation, the increase in fuel charges means that we continually need to look at ways of managing our buildings in ways that are as energy efficient as possible.
Last year, it cost on average £3827 per month to keep the church buildings going.
However this was because we received grants for various organisations. Without this, the cost would be significantly higher.
We also increased our Parish Pledge (Diocesan Quota by £3000), taking our annual contribution to £15000. This is the amount that churches pay to the Diocese towards staffing costs throughout the Diocese, including Tracy, Hayley and Rachel. Our contribution is still a very nominal amount considering our Parish has been blessed with the equivalent of 2 full time clergy posts.
Please refer to the financial statement attached for exact details of the church’s income and expenditure in 2022. The financial records were examined and approved by an independent examiner on the 4th of March 2023.
