PARISH FINANCE COMMITTEE The committee has produced detailed accounts of the parish finances to 31st
March 2009 and copies are available in the narthex. We can all be grateful to
the members of the committee, Barbara Nicholson, Miles Cunningham and Richard
Dalton for the careful work they undertake on behalf of us all. We are in
stringent times and this is reflected in the figures; Offertory Income has
reduced by 5.5% which probably reflects the difficulties we are all
experiencing due to the extreme economic conditions over the past couple of
years. Though our income is less our bills do not fall. Expenditure was high as
a result of the expensive work we had to carry out on the Hall and the Clubroom
resulting in our over all position being £10,500.00 worse off than the previous
year. I hope and pray that every parishioner will think of remembering St
Teresa’s Parish in their will. It is due to past legacies that we pay no
interest on the amount the diocese has advanced to us to make sure that
essential work can be carried out. I know that we all love our church and
appreciate that all our parish buildings are expensive to maintain. If you
can’t give more now you could look to give a bit in your will. Another way is
the Gift Aid scheme which is very simple to put into practice. If you are a tax
payer, by signing a Gift Aid Declaration any amount you give to the church
benefits by the return of the income tax you have paid. Your gift has to be
recordable i.e. by envelope, by bank standing order or by cheque. From April
2010 we shall all be better off because the Government is to reduce the basic
rate of income tax by 2p. This windfall to each taxpayer can be passed on to
the parish by increasing the amount you give to the parish.
