What the accounts disclose
“In 2024 we lived within our means again as a church, with income very slightly ahead of expenditure. A significant amount of money was spent on the church roof lead replacement project, but much of this was funded by grants and donations from individuals and organisations (including The Friends of St Mary’s & St Leonard’s) for which we are very grateful. However, regular giving - through standing orders, envelopes, and plate collections - although a little higher than in 2023 is still lower than in 2022.” — page 4
“It is the policy of the Wallingford PCC to maintain as a reserve approximately three months of general running costs (amounting to £30,000) plus a further amount as contingency for quinquennial and other works arising. The target level for this contingency is £90,000 giving a total target for reserves of £120,000.” — page 4
