But because the Church of England'5 accounting year is the calendar year. the accounts and financial commentary relate to calendar year 2023. Aims and objectives The Parochial Church Council has responsibilities under both churth and charity law. As the governing body of Holy Trinity church, its role is to cooperate wlth the clergy and other members of the ministry team in promotlng the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. As the Council Is a re8iStered charlty. its members also ha¥e responslbllltles as trustees of the charity. A5 a church. our core prlnclples are to be Christ<entred, Bible-based and Splrlt-led. Our core volues are compassion. courage and creativity. Our mi55ion is to a(hve numerical growth, spiritual depth and communSty renewal. In pursuit of these aims. our business at our eight meetings over the past year has focused not only on current thurch Itfe but atso on our asplratlons forthe future through Project Arclight. described further below. People The Council has enjoyed working with the Vicar. the Revd Abl Todd, the Curate, the Revd Jonathan Huff, and the Chlldren's. Familles and Youth Pastor, lssy Williamson over the past year.

Around the slte Through the yeaf. a lot of energy has gone into progressing Project Ardight. our mi55ion-driven transformation project enabled by redevelopment of our site. This work has been taken tOard on behalf of the Council by a Project Board and most of all by Simon Todd as the project manager. in conjunctlon with our archltects Malcolm Fryer and Satlsh Ja55al as the lead deslgners. The planning stage 15 unavoidably mstty. In October 2023 we launched 18nite, a major fundraisin8 campaign whlch has bfOU8ht in almost exactly £3CK).(KM) from our own members and other friends and associates. In March 2024. we moved on to a new campaign, Fuse, to raise the rest of the money we need. Ignfte lit the flame.. Fuse wlll carry the flame forward over the next year. For further details on Arcli8ht, please see the separate report In thls pack. In the meantlme. we must malntaln our existlng infrastructure. Although there has been major work over the past year, there has been plenty to keep our Churchwardens occupied. Significant Item5 have lrtcluded repalrs to the heatlng in the hall. essential electrical work In the church and the renewal of our floodlights. The churchwardens, report In thls pack glves further detalls of malntenance during the year. Flnance The Flnanclal Statements for the year ended 31" December 2023 are attached. In accordance with le8al requirements. ttrt accounts are divided into unrestricted and restricted funds. Unrestrlcted funds resuft from general fundraising and may be used for any purpose. Restrirted funds are those which a glven to the church for Specific purwse5. The Notes to the Flnanclal Statements explaln the funds more fullv. The law also requires US to have our Financial Statements re¥Wed by an Independent Examlner. At the last annual meetln& Jon Groom. who has generously examined our accounts without any fee for the past seven years, was reappointed to the role. In the event. however. our income in 2023 exceeded E250,CMXI for the flrst tlme, meaning that the revlew must be condurted by a qualrfied accountant. We have therefore appjlnted Your Local Accountants of 5 Chlgwell Road, South Woodford as examiner5 of the 2023 accounts. Huge thanks ère dLJe to Jon for gNing hls time so unstlntingly up to now. Our General Fund income in 2023 was some £20.CKM) greater than In 2022, due in part to grants received towards Salt and Open Table and genefOUS SUPPOrt from All Saints Woodford Wells. Even so, we had a deficit in the year of about £ll,LKL). All parishes are ob5i8ed to POY a sum to the Dlocese each year. known as the Parish Share, as a contribution to the costs of provldlng parlsh clergy and central Diocesan seThi¢es. A £22.tJX) increase in this payment In 2023 was a major fartor in our failure to break even. Charlty law requires the Coundl to de%*lop and report pollcles on reserves. The Councll's pollcy Is to hold reserves in the General Fund sufficient to meet expenditure from that fund for a period of three months, and after that, to the extent that it is P055ible. to set money aslde in a desvanated fund to be used as and when nece553ry to cover increased 1$ of missional artNity. Our General Fund See5 at the end of 2023 were below the desired level required by our policv. Our fInanS are likely to get tighter still in 2024. Until n. ouryouth Pastor post has been funded by external grants, bLrt from 2024 we will have to cover the costs ourselves. Thls and other risinB costs mean that our finan will be under even greater pressure than before. The Council attaches importance to the payment of Parish Share. but it is atso mindfvl of the need Thjt to run down our
Registered Charlty no: 1192943 reserves any further. We are hopefvl that increased regular giving will ease the pressure, but even so we have reluctantty given notice that we are very unlikely to te able to pay the Share in full In 2024. We had two e¥ceptional Etems of income in 2023. Apart from the donations received from the Ignite campaign, we received some £73,rm as a resu of default by Kent and Sussex Propertles Ltd. the developers for our previous, unsuccessful redevelopment project. who went into liquidation in 2017. This money will not be available to us to spend until the liquidation process is complete but will eam welcome Interest In the interlm.
