## 2022 ACCOUNTS AT A GLANCE 





## Commentary on 2022 Fen Ditton PCC Accounts 

In 2022 income and payments were £42,774 and £33,871 respectively (2021: £47,235 and £32,648), leaving a surplus of £8,903 for the year (2021: £14,588).  The income in the year included a number of exceptional payments, the use of which was limited to certain defined purposes, and the unrestricted income and payments were £28,733 and £28,098 respectively (2021: £32,516 and £30,636), leaving a surplus in the unrestricted funds of £635 (2021: £1,881). 

At 31[st] Dec 2022, the unrestricted funds stood at £15,495 and the sum of restricted funds stood at £105,015 (fabric fund, including specific allocations: £58,281). 

2022 saw a return to more normal activities following C19 lockdowns.  Our service collection rose from £2,232 in 2021 to £3,195, but is well below historic amounts (cf £6,000 in 2019). Income from church events was however below 2021 figures at £2,528 with no weddings. 

Planned giving was broadly in line with 2021 at £15,165 but below previous years. Members of the Parish Giving Scheme and standing orders are the same.  Event income was well ahead of  below 2021 at £3,086 in line with previous years.    The PCC also received a further substantial transfer in of funds (£14,041) from the old Church Trust which will be held by the PCC for the same purposes as the Church Trust. 

The Parish Share was 4% higher than the previous year at £23,936 (2021: £22,993).  Church utility costs were substantially below previous year due to an on-going issue with the electricity supplier incorrectly redirecting our supply to another provider resulting the in church not being billed for any electricity during the period.  The supplier has been notified and is aware of the error, but has failed to correct it.  We should be aware that there is a potential liability for electricity for the year that is likely to be approximately £3k.  In addition, substantial amount was spend on organist costs in the year.  Building maintenance costs for the year were below prior years and entirely routine costs. 

Post the pandemic, the cost of running the church has been contained with little expenditure on non-routine building work, or other investment.  This, together with being able to offset insurance costs against the old trust funds and income from events, has enabled a small surplus in unreserved income.  The overall financial position has benefited significantly from the final receipt from old Church Trust.  The surplus this year needs to be considered in the context of the electricity liability mentioned above.  We have also agreed to make a contribution of £5,000 to the Parish Council for repair of the church wall (a Parish Council responsibility) which is likely to be paid in 2023. 

Looking forward, there is significant opportunity to improve the income from events and giving back to pre-pandemic levels which would put the church finances in a stronger long term position. Sam Hyde (tr.fdchurch@gmail.com)
