Congregational giving showed steady and encouraging growth throughout the year, reflecting the ongoirrfJ
commitment of mernbers and friends ofthe church. Alongside this, we benefited from grants awarded by a
range of org8nisalions and charitable trusts. These grantg have been insliumentsl in 5UPPOrting the expansion
of our stsff team and in helping lo meet In¢￿8$7n9 employment ¢051s. We are especialty grateful lo those funders
who have committed to multi-year funding, as this provides financial stability enables more confident
planning for the future.
Rental income continued to forrn a swjnificanl and reliable part of our overall income. This was supported by
full occup3ncy across all available tanancigs and the stability of settled arrangomenls. In add￿on. income was
lurther strengthened by the continued growth in tha use of our church and ancillary spaces for a wido range of
activrties, including events, con¢erts, and confarances, relecting the buikling's incrgasing role as a valued
mmunity resource.
Staffing costs remained the larg¢st area of expendilurg during Ihg y¢ar. Wo continued to honour the Mgthodisl
Church's commitment lo the Li*ing Wa9e, while also appoinlirig a fulktime Operation5 & Finance Officer and

Expermlrture on repairs and Maintenan￿ continued lo remain al an elev81ed level. This refiects the heavy

Quinquennial inspection reports, onsuring the lon*term care and safely ol the premises.
Technology costs increased during the year. This has been ac￿Mpanied by a reduction in printing and stationery
sls, refiecting a gradual move towards more efficient and sustainable ways of working.
We are pleased to report that we were again abFg lo maintain our commitment to tithing during the year, sharing
our re50uices with other organisations and charities and supporting the wider work of God'5 kingdom beyond

The church aims to hold a reserve of Sufficient unrestricte(l and undesignaled funds to wver 51X
months expenditure- approximately £150,000. The reasons for this are:_
1) The church needs approximatety one month's average expenditure in reserve as working
capital to cover normal running cust8.

instruments are reco9nised when the charrty becornes party to the contracfval proviswjns of Ihg
instrument and derecognised when in Ihg case of assets, the contractual rights lo cash flow5 from the
assets expire or sub51anlially all the risks and iewards of ownership are transferred to another party,
or in th& case of liabilities, when the charitls obligations arg distharged, expire or are cancelled.
These instruments are iriilialty measured al transaction pr￿e, induding IransactKJn costs, and are

paid or receNed, after tsking account of impairnient adjustments.
