| There are also other opportunities for |

|||||
| The PCC agreed to install a new Audio | |||||
| Visual system during the year at a total |
|||||
| cost ofalmost f27,000which was two- | |||||
| thirds funded by the generosity of |
|||||
| parishioners and the balance from our |
|||||
| existing resources. We also installed new |
|||||
| LED lighting in the aisles at a cost of |
|||||
| 611,313,with the help ofgrant support | |||||
| which totalled 66,500. | |||||
| There was a substantial increase in our |
|||||
| charitable giving during 2022 which rose |
|||||
| from f12,437to L'18,939.In particular, | |||||
| there was a more than doubling in our |
|||||
| giving to dedicated causes, up from L7,146 | |||||
| to615,158, partly in response to specific |
|||||
| overseas crisis appeals (such as Tearfund | |||||
| in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Ukraine) as |
|||||
| well as a focus on important local charities |
|||||
| such as Maidstone Homeless Care. |

at the end | were up strongly at 680,966, helped by higher Gift Aid and regular giving, while |
|||
| total unrestricted payments also rose to |
|||||
| 672,550, largely due to higher spend on a | |||||
| new AV system and new lighting. This |
|||||
| resulted in a net unrestricted surplus of |
|||||
| E8,416,with E11,416surplus being |
|||||
| allocated to the general fund and E3,000 |
|||||
| being charged to the designated AV fund. |
|||||
| After allowing for restdicted receipts and |

| 8124,227 and payments 8117,745, giving | |||||

| Our Quinquennial inspection in 2018 |
|||||
| identified some major work which was | |||||
| likely to be needed to the Church spire in | |||||
| the next few years, although our most |
|||||
| recent Quinquennial in 2023 (full report still |
|||||
| awaited) was not as bad as feared. Even | |||||
| so, we have continued to build up this | |||||
| Church Fabric Fund, with the sum of | |||||
| E3,000transferred in 2020, E5,000 in 2021 |
|||||
| and F10,000 in 2022 as our aim has been | |||||
| to build up a fund ofat least 825,000. | |||||
| Our General Funds are partly held as | |||||
| rainy-day funds in case ofunforeseen |
|||||
| circumstances (such as losing important |
|||||
| donors) but could also help towards | |||||
| specific projects as they arise in the future. | |||||
| The Restoration Fund represents the |
|||||
| balance ofthe funds left over from our | |||||
| earlier redevelopment programme as well |
|||||
| as a grant ofE1,500 received in 2021.This |
