The Pastures Community Church
Charity Number 1080711
Trustees Report April 2021-March 2022
Last year (2020-2021) we ran an operating deficit of around £12,757. This financial year (2021-2022), operating costs were substantially lower since no major refurbishment projects were undertaken. Our giving to evangelists and other Christian workers was slightly reduced at around £16,900. This resulted in a substantially reduced overall operating deficit of less than £100. The cash balance at the start of the financial year was £29,787 and the cash balance at year end was slightly higher at £29,874.
The charitable aims continued to be met. We proclaimed the Christian message to all age groups and we remained active in the community. We provided a weekly "Parent & Toddler" group and a local flower arranging class and a Brownies group continued to use our building. Several members of the church also went into local schools to speak at school assemblies. In additional, we started a “Coffee ‘n’ Cake” coffee morning once a weak, which is open to the local community. We have once 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.
