FINANCIAL REVIEW
The increase in fllwicial reserves was a total of £20,135 (2023 £17,239: an increase of £2,896). Total income
was £66,147 (2023 £72,061).
There is no fornial reserves policy apart from good stewardship.
The church is managed by an otTice manager, a financial administrator and an administrator. All staff are
pernlanently employed.
FIXED ASSETS
The Trust charges the full cost of the purchases of small items of equipment less than £500 directly to revenue
in the year in which they are acquired. The Trust owns the Church Building in Deveron Way, which is included
in the Balance Sheet at £86.073. This has been capitalised at the book value at time of transfer as held in the
accounts of Hollycroft Church.
The cost of the extension to the rear of the existing Church Centre amounting to £425,655 was capitalised in
the accounts in the year the expenditure was incurred. Under accruals accounting the cost w&s depreciated at
2 % on a straight line basis from September 2009 to August 2012. Since then, the accounts are being prepared
on a receipts and payments basis, so no further charge is to be made in the accounts for depreciation, as
receipts and payments accounts do not have to account for changes in the value of assets.
TRUSTEES
The Trustees serving during the period were Christopher Nornian (Chair), Philip Wells (Treasurer), Joanne
Poultney and Andrew Smith (interim secretary).
