2022 Year End Finance – Annual Report 

This is a very different year end to last year! 

When our budget for 2022 was prepared we were aware that the on-going effects of the pandemic could deplete our finances.  In 2021 we were able to make use of the government furlough scheme of £10,188.  However, in 2022 we have had to rely solely on our reserves to meet the cost of our £20,000 deficit, as our voluntary giving has reduced even further.  The increased cost of living has of course taken its toll worldwide. 

Our total income for the year ending 31[st] December 2022 was £102,451 and our total expenditure £122,760. 

The largest amount in our budget was salaries and their associated costs.  We honoured our commitments to our staff - Pastor, Administrator and Cleaner, despite our monthly giving being drastically reduced.  Following Graeme’s notice to retire, consultation meetings were held towards the end of the year where it was made clear that if we wish to employ a full time person in our church we would need to be able to fund this (approximately £48,000). 

We have also honoured our commitments to Missionary giving for the year:-  £1,500 to HEBA  home missions,  £5,588 to CAP,  £7,833 to BYSP and £2,400 to Nicky Brand.  In addition to the Specific Gifts raised of £2,179.75 for King’s Kids Christmas appeal, £315 for CAP Christmas Hampers, £150 for Food Bank and £1,085 raised for Graeme’s retirement gift. 

In 2022 it was also necessary to carry out some urgent structural work on the Church roof and Number 7 roof and gutters, staircase and window lintels amounting to £9,940.  Following our recent quinquennial inspection we now also need to have the Church electrical wiring inspected.  I am hoping that we will be able to carry out much of the other necessary work ourselves without incurring too much cost (volunteers are very welcome!). 

For some time now the Lord has been reminding me of Hebrews 10:23-25 – ‘Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how we may spur one another on to love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.’

The Church is a partÈcipatin8 employer in the Bapti￿ Perjsion Scheme {Yie Scheme"). which is a ￿parate legal
elltity administetcd by the PensioD Trustee {Bapt151 Pen5ioTh Tnjst Linjited). The assets of the sChe￿e aTe hdd
scpardtely frorn those of the Employer arjd the other wti¢tparLug ernployeT5.
The Scheme. prcviou8ly kttowD as the Baptist MinisleTS' PeDsion Flln4 stsrted in 1925, but was ¢los¢d to fubjre
ac¢rual of defjned benefits (KL 3 1 Decclnber 2011. Prior to thi"$ date the maiD bencfit proviW through the

of tbe Basic Sectiorl pay rebjced contribUti¢￿S of 5°A of Pensionable Income. and their empk)y¢rs &lso pay &

The scherne is Considered to b¢ a multi<mployer scheme as deKrknl in section 28 of FRS 102. Because it is

Cassation and other Events
Consequent wn the departtlre of a fornjer Pastor in 2(MJ7, the Church had a cess8tion eveni undBr Section 75 of
the Pa￿lOn8 Act 1995. This makes the Chutcb liable for the proportion of the overall deficit {&gsessed by
reference io the cost of securing b¢nefits by the purchase of athiuitics) aN>licable to its PTevTrous Pastors u,ho
were tt)embers of the S¢heme. At present the Church is paying the ongoitig deficieney ￿ntrIbUtions Outlilled
aknve, and the balance sheet liability alx)vc is bwd on thoÉe deficiency cootribution8. However, the Pension
Scheme Tnjstee h&s the right to quantify and seek paymt of the thbt at atty tirnt.

During theperiod the Church rn&de deficicncy ContrJTr)U¢io]￿ of £4.143 (2021 £4,015)
The Church is a partÈcipatin8 employer in the Bapti￿ Perjsion Scheme {Yie Scheme"). which is a ￿parate legal
elltity administetcd by the PensioD Trustee {Bapt151 Pen5ioTh Tnjst Linjited). The assets of the sChe￿e aTe hdd

The Scheme. prcviou8ly kttowD as the Baptist MinisleTS' PeDsion Flln4 stsrted in 1925, but was ¢los¢d to fubjre
ac¢rual of defjned benefits (KL 3 1 Decclnber 2011. Prior to thi"$ date the maiD bencfit proviW through the

of tbe Basic Sectiorl pay rebjced contribUti¢￿S of 5°A of Pensionable Income. and their empk)y¢rs &lso pay &

The scherne is Considered to b¢ a multi<mployer scheme as deKrknl in section 28 of FRS 102. Because it is

Consequent wn the departtlre of a fornjer Pastor in 2(MJ7, the Church had a cess8tion eveni undBr Section 75 of
the Pa￿lOn8 Act 1995. This makes the Chutcb liable for the proportion of the overall deficit {&gsessed by
reference io the cost of securing b¢nefits by the purchase of athiuitics) aN>licable to its PTevTrous Pastors u,ho
were tt)embers of the S¢heme. At present the Church is paying the ongoitig deficieney ￿ntrIbUtions Outlilled
