Finances
St Paul’s and St Nicholas’
The overall state of the parish finances is buoyant. At the end of 2023 total funds stood at £525,000 including freehold property and restricted funds.
The day-to-day administration of the parish is met by the general (or unrestricted) fund which in 2023 recorded income of £170,000.
St Paul’s and St Nicholas’ have subscribed to the national Parish Giving Scheme and to date some 80% of regular givers now use this method of donation.
An appeal in the spring resulted in some generous donations and increased giving. However the expected surplus may be impacted by the need to remove a large cedar tree.
In 2023 over £10,000 was donated for international disaster relief as well as support for our key mission partners.

The finances are in a good state. At the end of 2023 the total funds stood at £107,747. Unrestricted funds received an income of £67,645 during the year. The budget for this year is predicting a loss of £7,000, due to the installation of the new boiler earlier this year offset by additional income from JAG holiday club.
£3,500 was paid to supported charities
