What do we spend money on? |
Where does the money come from? |
|
The daily upkeep and running of the building requires us to pay for:
- repairs and maintenance - electricity and other utility bills - insurance - cleaning |
Our funds come from:
- profits from the Gallery Cafe; - letting out the building for meetings and events; - fund-raising activities - grants and donations, including a regular donation from the PCC. |
In 2025 we are likely to require in the region of £40,000 just to keep the building up and running - that's over £100 a day. It could be even more if any unexpected repairs are needed. The latest Quinquennial Report (December 2024) identifies that over the next 5 years we will need upwards of £90,000 to ensure that all recommended repairs and maintenance activities are completed to acceptable standards. So external funding from grants and donations is crucial. Please make a donation to support our beautiful church, unique Bell Tower and community hub by making a donation in person at the church using the donations box to the right of the main entrance doors or sending a cheque made payable to St Leonard’s Management, at the following address - St Leonard’s Church, Green Lane, Yarpole HR6 0BB.

Our bank accounts |
2023 accounts |

St Leonard's Management is an entirely independent charity with its own bank accounts. All our money is kept completely separate from all other organisations.
We have two bank accounts: one for specific projects such as the new heating system, and one for the daily upkeep of the building. Money for the daily upkeep of the building is kept completely separate from moneys raised for specific projects such as the new heating system, which are ring-fenced in a separate account. |
Our reserves policy
The Charity Commission advises every charity to produce and publish a Reserves Policy, explaining how much money is kept in reserve for emergencies (for example, in the event of another pandemic).
