St Mary Magdalene Bridgnorth
Treasurer’s Report for the year ending 31[st] December 2022
The General Fund (unrestricted)
At 31[sT] December the General Fund balance was £13,702. This was £9,314 more than the balance on 31[st] December 2021. Most of the increase (£6,800) was caused by the late receipt of the Francis Wheeler legacy, normally paid in December but received in January, offset by the consequent late payment of the balance of our parish offer for 2021. This was a timing difference rather than an underlying increase in income. Regular giving fell slightly but general donations and rental income rose slightly.
The Church’s parish offer of £50,000 for 2022 was paid in full.
Designated Funds
Designated fund balances increased by £4,365 as an Energy Fund (balance £3,824) was set up to help pay for increases in energy costs in 2023 as a result of fixed price contracts ending. The Church received a grant of £2,000 from Hereford Diocese towards increasing energy costs which was added to this Fund.
Restricted Funds
Balances fell by £2,157. The Music Fund increased by £959 whilst the Fabric Fund decreased by £3,116. Lighting in the Church was converted to LED at a cost of £3,874.
Other
St Mary’s has two associated hall churches. Their fund balances on 31[st] December 2022 were
-
St Leonard’s Hall Church £15,494.
-
St James Hall Church £3,302
