Summary
We started the year with anticipation, in fact waiting for the inevitable coupled with the unknown and it came, closed the buildings down. Being concerned with the financial impact there were two ways that we could be affected, hall hire and random weekly donations. We took major steps, we implemented ChurchSuite and this has enabled easier access for online donations and we have provided a “Tap and Go” machine for contactless payments. We created additional Income/Expense lines to allocate Covid extra costs, including a monthly zoom payment, extra hand cleaning stations and associated goods. These lines have now been absorbed and are BAU for 2021. 2020 also saw the need to implement a church cleaning contractor so that we as a membership, were safe from potential virus when we entered the church. We need to recognise that many members changed their giving to online and bank direct debits and these actions have helped to see us through the unprecedented year of change.
