Achievements against Para 1.41 Sunday meetings take place within the church building
objectives set once again, but online mid-week meetings still seem to be
the preferred option for the majority. This also enables
speakers from more distant locations to contribute
occasionally. Other activities will resume as and when
volunteers and participants materialise in sufficient
numbers.
Performance of fundraising Para 1.41 We have no specific fundraising events, but regular giving
activities against objectives set and tithing by church members continues to be our main
method of financial support.
Investment performance Para 1.41 We maintain a “Reserve Fund” for contingency planning.
against objectives The chapel building we occupy can be very costly to
maintain and repair and without this reserve fund, any
emergency repairs or liabilities would fall on the shoulders
of the Trustees which might be beyond their capability.
