Flnanclal revlew
Review of the charity's
rinancial position at the end of
the period
The overall finances of the Church remain in 3 strong posltion at the
end of 202412S. Total Income was £861.441 and total expenditure
lexcluding capital spending on capital project51 amouhted to £674,137.
All three maln constltuent parts of the charlty IEMC, EMC Nursery and
CCEMCI reported a surplus for the year on their operating activities.
Expenditure on major new capital projects in 2024125 was just under
£2(30,(100. As shown in Table 5 of the accompanylng Accounts most of
the cost of this work w3s met from grants received from the Ioc31
authority and external organlsations. A legacy, donatlon5 from Church
members and 3 surplus on operating activities funded the shortfall,
meaning that the Church did not have to draw on its invested funds for
thè balance. Consequently, reserves for the Church continue to be at
very healthy level (see belowl.
The trustees require each of the three maln constltuent parts of the
charity IEMC, CCEMC and the Early Years Nursery) to hold reserves
equivalent to the value of six months of their operating costs. In
practice thls means the respectlve reserves need to be:
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reseNes
stating why they are held
EMC- £180,000
Early Years Nursery and Famlly Centre- £86,000
CCEMC- £120,0(Y)
The Church draws down on re5erve5 as required to fund 5peclflc
mission projects and in particular its capital programme of
malntenance and improvements. It seeks to avoid using its reserve5 to
subsidise its operating budgets.
At 31" AUg￿5t 2025 the Church held £709,514 in Invested funds IEMC
£330,379. The Early Years Nursery and Fawnlly Centre £115,000 and
CCEMC £264,135).
