FINANCIAL REVIEW

Duringtheyearunderreview,theincomeoftheCharitywas£289,487(2022:112,743).Incomeincludestheprofit of
£156,638onthedisposalofthemanse.Incomefromdonationsof£92,503wassignificantlyhigherthanin 2022
(£62,030). Rental income from the manse was only for a part-period so was £3,600 instead of £21,600 in 2022.
Expenditurefor the year was £144,636(2022:133,113),of whichdepreciationof £44,139(2022:£46,690)was by far the
majoritem.Staffcostsincreasedfrom£9,954to £16,182,mainlydueto thefactthatbothemployeeswerein postfor a
fullyearwhereaslastyeartherewas theequivalentof oneemployeefortheyear.Majorcategoriesof expenditure were
grants to institutions, £25,362 (2022: £22,512), and repairs and decorating £13,939 (2022: £10,142).
Thechurchrecordedasurplusof£144,851(2022:deficitof£20,370).Afterthegainof£21,142(2022:£969)on the

added to total funds brought forward (2022 :deficit of £19,401), leaving reserves of £1,889,436 to be carried forward.
