The 2022 parish accounts have recently been completed and show a loss of £0.7k for the year on General Funds. A summary of the accounts is pinned on the notice board in the church porch, or you can download a copy here.
Main items of expenditure during the year included repairs to and eventual replacement of the presbytery boiler and repairs to the organ. A new accessible front door was fitted to the Garden Room and a further set of table and chairs purchased. Fencing to the rear of the church hall was replaced and new votive candle stands installed in the church. We were grateful to receive donations to cover the cost of both the door and the fencing.
General Income showed a substantial increase over 2021 as Covid restrictions were lifted, the impact being felt mainly in the level of the offertory collection and in income from hall rentals.
With regard to Restricted Income we were extremely fortunate to receive a generous donation to cover the cost of replacing the hall roof membrane and installing insulation. This work will be carried out in 2023.
During 2023 it is also anticipated that, barring any large unforeseen items of expenditure, we should have accumulated sufficient funds to replace the hall windows with uPVC double glazed units further improving the building’s energy efficiency.
Our aim is to seek sources of grant funding where available for further improvements to the hall, which continues to be a valuable parish asset.
