other income in 2023 and only £l1.483 in 2024 offs¢t by an improvement in income from the use
of the premises. Our income from the use of premises was £79,704 (2023: £58,740).
Offerings before gift aid was £52,334 (2023: £50.437).
Tax recovered from Gift Aid giving was £1 1,110 (2023.. £12.838) which was available for GeneraI
Purposes. Dividend Income from Invesknents increased from £16,803 to £18,539 of ￿4]ICh £2,780

Our overall expenditur¢ was £387.543 compared to £ 294.466 in 2023. Unrestricted expenditure
increased from £225,473 in 2023 to £295,364 in 2024 with considerable additional fabric repairs
and maintenance work and other building costs as well &$ an increase in ow giving to grow costs.
Investment Policy and Performance
It is the policy of St Cuthbert's to hold all financial invesknents with the Church of Scotland
Investors TrusL believing that this trust is best placed to provide financial investment at an
appropriate level of risk. These investments have arisen as a result of generous donations and
legacies received over a number of years. In part these donations and legacies have been used to
facilitate a variety of onevoff projects which might not otherwise have been affordable. The balance
bas been invested to create a flow of income which allows St Cuthbert's to operate at a higher level
of charitable activity than would otherwise be possible.
Some restricted funds are held for purposes which will benefit the church in future years and these
have been invested until circumstances arise where these funds can be used. Examples include fi￿dS
for the maintenance of the external fabric of ihe building and for the maintenance of the church bells.
St Cuthbert's also holds one investment property (a residential flat) which was given to the church
as a gift and which is rented out through a property agent.
All investments are reviewed regularly.
