Unless otherwise specified by the legatee or executors all endowment funds are regarded as permanent and are invested with the SEC Unit Trust or other investment Trusts (Aberdeen Asset Management, INVESCO, Murray International, Janus Henderson, a range of other investment funds, and a mineral exploration company, all chosen to spread risk). The Trustees also hold equity in Scottish & Southern Energy, First Group, Glaxo Smith Kline and Royal Dutch Shell. The Vestry's aim remains to maintain an Endowment Fund initially of at least £100,000; and - although £27,235 of investments were sold to fund renovation of the Church Hall market movements during the year meant that capital appreciation of £17,664 was recorded, meaning that the capital fund remains at £164,000, a fall of only £7,727 from the previous year. |Ambulance

**(**| |||||||-|| ## **Nature and purpose of funds** The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the Parish from which day to day recurrent costs are met. The Property Fund is that portion of Unrestricted Funds designated by the Trustees for major property repairs, for which income may need to be accumulated over a number of Financial Years; and to which, prior to COVID, income from the 50 Club, community bingo sessions,and sale of marmalade was attributed. Separate other designated funds are maintained in relation to Youth Work and Organ tuition. The Reserve Fund is for emergency and unbudgetted expenditure below the excess of the insurance poicy; and is supported by donation of 1p & 5p coins. Expenditure from the Property Fund in 2023/24 included upgrade & maintenance of the alarm system (£2,972 less VAT refund of £461), Completion of the Rectory Door (£234), Rectory kitchen cooker maintenance (£130), fire extinguisher maintenance (£203), and replacement of the church photocopier (£1,440). £300 was transferred from the Reserve Fund. There was no expenditure during the year from the Organ Tuition, or Youth Work Funds.
