leads Collective|

restrictions
permitting,|

||||||increase the profile ofthe children
and|
||||||families work we are providing.
As we are|
||||||joined by new families, we are seeking to|
||||||work closely with them to develop tailored|
||||||provision as we go forward.|
||||||Little Lambs is a new initiative started
in|
||||||September 2021,to provide a safe place|
||||||for parents, carers, babies and toddlers to|
||||||meet together and where toys, craft|
||||||activities, refreshments,
a Bible story|
||||||and singing time are provide every Monday|
||||||morning
during term time|
||||||There are also other opportunities
for|
||||||parishioners
to learn about the gospel with|
||||||regular weekly home groups and courses|
||||||held during
Lent.|
||||||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.|

position
ofthe period||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|

fund and E3,000|

AV fund.|

||||||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|

programme
as well|

in 2021.This|
