The Finances of St Anne's

Many members of St Anne's know that for several years the day-to-day operating costs of running our church have been greater than our regular income.  Until now we have been fortunate in having the Legacy Fund on which to draw and which has enabled us to fund the deficit.  However, the Legacy Fund is now almost fully spent and, very shortly, will no longer be available to us. The PCC has reduced expenditure as far as it is able - the annual cost of St Anne's is around £70,000; that is £200 for each day of the year.  This year, our income is likely to be around £50,000, resulting in a deficit of £20,000.  The only way of addressing this is to increase our income and the PCC has concluded that much of this can only come through increased giving by our congregation.  More information on how this will be addressed will be provided over the next few weeks, culminating in a stewardship service on Sunday 25th November.


The Children’s Society

I am collecting The Children’s Society boxes and would like to thank all who gave so generously last year. The total was a marvellous £489.78.  A booklet at the back of Church describes the work of the Children's Society. Please bring your box to Church or I can collect . Many thanks,   Janice Coyle.   I have spare boxes if anyone would like one, so please let me know.
