Annual Report and Statement of Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Attached is the Annual Report for St John's Parish Church for 2022.
There are currently 96 parishioners who donated via FWO, Harvest and Gift Day envelopes this year
giving an income of £36,101.00, which is £308.00 less than 2021. The Gift Aid Rebate for 2022 was
£7080.54, £405.00 of which is for the Development Account. Expenses for 2022 were £47,522.92.
During the year the Country Market was held for the first time since 2019 and raised £1,859.68 for
Missions. The Christmas Fair was also held and raised £1,542.31 for Church Funds. Special
collections were taken for Ukraine1£302.00), Poppy Appeal1£282.501 and the Diocesan
Rejuvenation Fund1£177.00}. Our usual Missions/Charities have continued to be supported. A Covid
Support Grant was provided by the RCB and the Church Hall 15 used for Gymnastics and Karate for
which we receive donations. Two grants were successfully applied for- one from the Diocese of
Down and Dromore, the other from Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council.
During the year the Rectory was refurbished before our new Rector and his family arrived. This was
paid out of the Development Account.
Our General Bank Account opened in January 2022 with £47,729.21 and closed at the end of
December with £62,765.16. The year ended with a reasonable balance, but 2023 will be a
challenging year with the cost of everything rising.
I would thank everyone for their giving to the Church during 2022. The Select Vestry would be
pleased to see new envelope holders, especially from our younger members.
Thank you for all your support in 2022.
