The Pastures Community Church
Charity Number 1080711
Trustees Report April 2020-March 2021
Last year (2019-2020) we ran an operating deficit of around £28,552. This financial year (2020-2021), operating costs have remained high, including refurbishment costs of nearly £14000, but were lower than last year. In addition, our giving to evangelists and other Christian workers was reduced to around £17,300. This resulted in a reduced overall operating deficit of £12,757. The cash balance at the start of the financial year was quite high (£42,545) and therefore the cash balance at year end was still a healthy £29,787.
The charitable aims continued to be met. We proclaim the Christian message to all age groups and we remain active in the community. We provide a weekly "Parent & Toddler" group and a local flower arranging class and a Brownies group continue to use our building. Several members of the church also go into local schools to speak at school assemblies. All these activities, with the exception of the Parent and Toddler group, have restarted after the restrictions and difficulties imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have again been able to support some national and international relief work.
The accounts have been examined once again by Mr David Negus, a retired solicitor.
