Treasurer's Report Total reIpts on unrestrlcted funds were £119626 of whlch £33869 was unstrfrted planned voluntary donatlons, and a further £7720 was from Glft Ald. It is PCC pollcy to try to maintaln a balance on reserves whSch equates to at least three month5 unrestrfcted payments. Th15 15 equlvalent to around £30000. This is held to smooth out any fluctuatlons In cash flow. As you can see thls is less than last year. Incom• Planned Glvlng represents 28% of our Income down from 30% the prevlous year. The conggatIOn are belng encouraged to swltch to the Planned Glvlng Scheme (PGS) as thls enables the church to recelve the glft ald monthly and thls vastly reduce5 the amount of tlme taken to prepare the reclalm. Fund Ralsing Activitles have ralsed £4597 down from É7189. The range of Fund-Ralslng actlvltles has been Insplrbng. From the sale of Cards to Knitted Crafts; from Blngo to the Chrfstmas Bazaar, all have made thelr contrlbutlon to the Ilfe of the Parlsh. Money raSsed and colletted on behalf of Charltle5 1.e. Chlldren's Soclety, Cds15 and Macmlllan are separate from the maln accounts and are Ilsted on the balance sheet wlthln agenLry collectlons. with some of the collettlons, money was also pald dlrectly to the charfty concerned. Further donatlons were made dlrectly by the church to Llnda Jackson Cancer Unlt, VSPG, YMCA Youth Homeless and Mother's Unlon. The general Income for 2025 has decreased compared to 2024. txpendlture There have been larye Item expense5 thls year relatlng to expendlture for the Church, and It should be noted that In the comlng year there wlll be larger expendltures to come wlth regards to the repolntlng of the west wall of the church, replastertng and palntlng the cholr area and general roof repalrs. Grants wlll be needed to be applled for and help In dolng thls wlll be gratefully appreclated. Thbs year we have been able to honour our Common Fund pledge In full for 2025. We cannot be complacent as St. Paul's Is stlll belng supported by the Dlocese. It Is estlmated that a Padsh such as ours wlll cost the Dbocese £IOO.000 In 202C, of whlch we have pledged to contrfbute £62.500. Thanks to the re-negotlatlon of some contracts and urefijl purchaslngi expense5 have been kept down to a slmllar level as 2024.
