TRUSTEES REPORT FOR 2024
During the year further improvements were made to the church. These being: -
Cumbria clock company Ltd (clock repair) 8,480.00 A P Gibson (lighting conductor) 1,200.00 Toobys (cooker) 560.00 Fairclough and Woodruff (boiler repair) 850.00 Mathew Cook (window and parapet repair) 17,090.00
Income to the Friends continued to decline. Donations were lower due to the sad demise of some Friends. There were no new Friends.
Total income for 2024 was £7,153.89 which includes £959.37 in gift aid for donations made in 2023. Total expenditure was £28,209.19 which led to a diminution of funds by £21,055.30.
Funds in current and deposit accounts totalled £26,938.98 as at 31[st] December 2024.
More regular donors are needed to replace those lost so any ideas to raise the profile of The Friends would be welcomed. Activity to gain donors who are not religious but wish to see the building and the churchyard maintained would prove beneficial.
Again our thanks have been conveyed to Mr Andy Denton for his inspection of the accounts this year.
