In 2022. the Church'5 bud9eted income and eKpendilure was £525.000 and £650.000 respectively. Incorne lor the year was significantly above bud9el In parf due lo a legacy that was received dufing the year. Expenditure was also above budget in 2022, though to a kssei extent. prinarity due to Ihe Church incurriro increased legal costs. Comparèd to 2021. the income of the Crth wa5 signifvnty lower. This vrn5 part due to less investment income with the djsure oflhe Churth's Baring's Targeied Relum Fund Invesknènt in 2021. and a drop in donatvJn5 receiv in 2022. The reason for Ihi5 drop in income is Ihe increasing ag• profile ol the Church, which means that income from membèrs who lets. or who sadly pass away Is not being feplaced by income fr(¥n rwi members. as well as the tost4)f4tving erisis that has occurred in 2022.
