Summary.
Total income was £13,700, Expenditure was £4,700.
£7,500 (See buildings Fund below) of our income came from a Grant towards the Kitchens.
Church Daily Running Account.
Income was £4,400. Expenditure was £4,00. Offerings stood at £2,200. We are now receiving £1,045 via Bank Standing Orders. Most of the Standing Orders attract Income Tax relief. We received a grant of £640.00 from the John Ansell Trust which supports work with young people (Sunday Club etc.) , £180.00, and £420.00 which supports work within the worship life of the church generally. There will be a significant gas bill next month in region of £2,200 which will rectify some earlier under-charging relating to estimated meter-readings. The gas calculations are rather convoluted, so I have started to maintain a table of calculations in the ‘Bank Summary and Funds’ worksheet of our monthly summary, at D30 to P30.
Monk’s Eleigh . Little to report
Ansell Centre.
Income was £1,860 from Lettings receipts . There were £610.00 costs. The costs were mainly for an Asbestos Inspection, and our regular cleaning bill.
Buildings Fund..
Income was £7,800. There were nil costs. The bulk of the income was in the form of a donation from the Garfield Weston trust. Mervyn works tirelessly with trusts such as Garfield Weston to negotiate possible grants towards our buildings works. Donations via the bank now stand at £210 per month. Could I ask those folks that have offered to contribute via the Bank to ask me for a mandate form please.
Funds.
Refer to the ‘Bank Summary and Funds’ Sheet.
We have currently a total of £77,000 available for Buildings works, £5,000 in the General Fund, and £1,200 in the Monk’s Eleigh Savings Fund. The Buildings Fund is for the planned changes to the Ansell Centre, and Planned Works Phase 3A, the church heating, pew removals , lighting improvements etc.
The General fund pays our running costs. The Monk’s Eleigh fund is a restricted fund set up for the exclusive use of the chapel there. Monk’s Eleigh offerings (Lines 90 and 93 of the Detailed Cash-flow worksheet) pay for their day-to-day costs.
Description of the worksheets
Detailed Cash-flow is the one I have just described.
Forecast Cash-flow is the Income and expenditure to-date plus my estimates to the year-end.
Bank Details describes our bank status. Column P is the one of interest. The
Bank Summary and Funds summarises our bank accounts (as in Bank Details col P), and the Buildings and General Funds. You will note that we have paid quite a number of bills from the church G/F, some of which will be covered by other grants.
