TRUSTEES REPORT FOR 2025
During the year further improvements were made to the church. These being: -
£ Fairclough and Woodruff (boiler repair) 1,031.27 Mathew Cook (windows repair) 20,900.00
Income to the Friends continued to decline but only marginally this year due to some new donors joining the Friends
Total income for 2025 was £7,028.11 which includes £985.21 gift aid payment for donations made in 2024. Total expenditure was £21,961.56 which led to a diminution of funds to £12,005.53 as at 31[st] December 2025.
As before 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.
