Financial Review
Resultsfor the year
In summary, there was a defTrcit of £83. 640, mitt"8ated by a legacy of E20,000. è gain on a sale of
property of £69.443. and investment gains of E37.421. The underlying financial picture is weak.
Expenditure included signih.cant fabric repairs. General fund income wa5 £104,268 compared with
£113.324 last year. The Gift Day drew a poor Tesponse of £2.230 includin8 Gift Aid. Freewill Offering
Income was £45.621 and income from the Plate was £3.902. with sundry income of £3,371.
Investment income dropped by £1,871, reflecting the continuing need to withdraw capital from the
investment portfolio. Income from hall users increased by £4,S99 to f 17,554, and thanks are due
to the Church Administrator in achieving this increase.
General fund expenditure was £187,908 compared with £141.737 with the rnain increase coming in
fabric repair5 to church and rectoiy. and incfeased stspends dnd salaries Ireflectt"n8 the SEC'S poliLy of
progressively Te5torin8 str"pends to their 2CM)6 level adjusted for CPI). Heat and light cosis increased bv
El.331. Control ol other expenditure was carefully monitored. The Statement of Financial Actr"vities
on page 9 reflects a deficii of £83.640 on the Beneral fund12023 - deh'cit £28,188). £1,633 of the
deh'cit for the year has been met from the Fabric Fund, with the balance of f82,CK17 bein8 met from
the Endowment Fund. Restrirted fund incorne was £3,406 consistinB of Property and special appeal
income, with rÈlatÉbd expenditure of £1,773. The amount of Restricted funds carried forward remains
at £3,1(X). reserved for stained glass repairs1£1.8￿> and choral scholars1Saint Ceciliè Fund £1,3￿1.
It is di5appointr.ng that Congregational income is much less than one third of our ioial expenditure.
We rely signih'canlly on investment ènd community income. bui the reality of the post Covid world is
that it is difh'cult to romp anywhere npar balanrin8 ihp b(x)ks without a si8nificantly increased level of
support from the congregation.
During the year the curate's flat was sold loi £156.416, generatin8 a gain of £69,443, and the proceeds
have been lar8ely reinvested into the stockmarket. The church's portfolio of investments is of good
quality and is managed to achieve è balance between income and capital Browth. While dividend
income dufing the year decreased. the portfolio did benefit from unrealised gains in value in line with
the general stockmarket reaction to the worldwide geopolibtal situation. On our stockbrokers, advice
investments were realised at a gain ol E3.220 12023.. loss £3,210). At ihe year end the portfolio was
valued at £551,460. representin8 a gain on revaluation of 134.36812023.. 1055 f12.6461. We have
Iso drawn down around £30,LMXI in cash from our investments to fund the deficit and provide liquidity
for working capital.
The Balance Sheet is healthy. with reserves of £624,536 represented by cash, and invesiments. The
reserves policy allows reserves to be used as c3Pltal or income for ihe purposes of mission and it is
recognised that the congregation's linancial sIren￿h will be tested in the next year by the challen8es
posed by the cost of livin8 increèses. This will almost certatnly lead to reduced capital and investment
income, which in turn will rpqiAirp a significantly increased financial commitmpnt from the
congregation in order to reduce future deh'cits.
The Vestry reaffirrns the importance of direci giving in Christian stewardship and seeks to achieve a
realistr"c approach to frnance. exercising wise stewardship and affirming the need for Benerous and
proportronate 8ivin8, in older to ensure that the congregatr"on's income bèlances its eipenditure.
Investment Policy
Constitutionally, the Vestry has the power to invest in such stocks and shares. investments and
property a5 It sees fit. upon the advice of 3 reputable stockbroker. The policy is to ensure a b31anced
level of income and capital growth consistent with security of capital and accessibility of funds. Money
which is surplus to immediate requirements is invested in bank deposits or stock m3rket as required.
