FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial results 2022
TheTrustachievedanetincomeof£9,994fortheyearended31stMarch2022(2021:£18,673).This is
after the inclusionof the donationunder Gift Aid of £3,524(2021:£1,189)from the connected Coffeeshop,
MustardSeed(Marlborough)Ltd,thereceiptofGovernmentCovidSupportGrantsof£2.667 (2021:

from staff and volunteers and by the understanding and support from the landlord.
Theresultsforthelasttwoyearshavebeenmuchbetterthanwasexpectedatthestartofthe Covid19
pandemic.TheTrusteesareverythankfulforallthesupportreceivedinthepastandgoing forward.
Without that support the future was very uncertain.
Bookshopsales by the Trust in the year morethan doubledcomparedwith 2021,and were not far off from
thepre-Covidlevelofsalesin2019.HoweverthesalesoftheconnectedCoffeeshop,although double
comparedwith 2021,were only 58% of the level in 2019.It is hoped that in the year to 31 March2023 the
sales of both companiescan be maintainedduring the costof livingcrisiscausedby the Russianinvasion of
Ukraine.
ThecombinedresultoftheBookshopandtheCoffeeshopfortheyearwasa netincomeof£8,752 (2021:
£17,880).Theexpectationfor2023is breakevenas we rebuildfromtheeffectsof Covid19and cope with
the cost increases caused by Russia.
TheTrustcontinuestoreceivevitalsupportfromthelandlord.Thelandlordhasconfirmedthatuntil 31
March 2024 the rent will remain at £9,000 pa which is 25% below the last rent review.
The Trusteesand Managementwill continueto seek ways to maintainour Christianpresencenear the High

Investment policy
TheTrusteesbelievethatthepolicyofplacingsurplusfundsondepositwithabankandCCLAis sufficient
for the purpose of the Charity, given its size.

the Trust alone if the Coffeeshop, Mustard Seed (Marlborough) Ltd, were to cease to trade.
