The Parish has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Treland's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities entered into during the year and those planned for the future have and will continue to help and achieve the Parish's objectives and provide a public benefit. Fiwancial Review Through the conlinued generosity of parishioners and others together with careful budgeting and wise stewardship of the finances, the day-to-day rulln1 costs and the expense of non-r¢current commitments arising during the y¢ar w¢rc covered while donations to clwitable causes continued. Expenditure exceeded income in 2022 due to the ambitious and costly programme of works on the church's stained glass windows, which had been very badly needed for some years. This commenced in summer 2022 and completed in May 2023. Thanks to a most generous bequest from a fornier parishioner in 2021 we were able to pay for this work in full together with necessary work on th¢ ¢xterior stonework.
