However, for a signrficant period of the last financial year (July 2023- June 20241, the church accounts were showing a deficit; this was particularly concernin8 during the first 4-5 months of this calendar year. The surplus or deficit at the end of each month of the last financial year is shown in the table below: End of month July 2023 August 2023 September 2023 October 2023 November 2023 December 2023 Surplus (DeficFt) £12,982 £11,340 £5,824 -£1,873 (Deficit) -£8,793 (Deficit) -£9.546 (Deficit) End of month January 2024 February 2024 March 2024 April 2024 May 2024 June 2024 Surplus IDeficlt) -£10,195 (Deficit) -£19,462 (Deficit) -£22,640 (Deficit) -£22,662 (Deficit) -£11.955 (Deficit) £5.369 The remarkable turnround in our finanaal situation that occurred during the latter part of May and June was due to significant income from HMRC1£13,040 Gift Aid) and several grants. Whilst these grants improved our overall financial situation. they were all given for specific purposes,. The most Sl8nificant being for our Youth & Children's work: July 2023 £20,000 from Synod June 2024 £180 from Synod June 2024 £5,000 from Garfield Weston and June 2024 £2.000 from the Harry Bottom Trust June 2024 £7.293 from Synod (Mission Capacity Fund- see below) Thus. this money is not available for general day-to-day expenditure. We are grateful to those organisations that have captured our vision for the future of the church, and supported us financially to help achieve our aims. The general fund show5 a surplus of £5,369 compared to a surplus of £26.734 for the previous year. Our free will offering was £66,191; this figure includes a Gift Aid payment of £11,104, compared with £72,899 including Aid of £20.395 for the previous year. It is difficult to reconcile Gift Aid payments as they are claimed retrospertively and the higher fi8ure for last year 15 actually the payments for two financial years. We raised £4,314 for our church charities through specific events and donations plus a small gift aid payment. compared to a total of £2.008 for last year. We received £1,650 in donations to our caring fund and gave £525 in gifts. Following a decision of the elders to fund taxis (to bring members of the church family to Sunday services}. a further £2,315 was paid from the caring fund. Thus, the fund now stands at £5.403. We were able to take advantage of a new fund within Synod called the Mission Capacity Fund. This fund is available to churches to enable them to release Ihumanl resources by paying the salaries of staff to carry out work which would ordinarily be done by church members, thus releasingthose church members for mission work.
