Achievements and Performance


	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	This year Ridgeway Methodist church has continued to hold weekly Sunday services and morning service is streamed for those who are unable to join us. In addition there have been monthly midweek services for residents in a nearby community which caters for the visually impaired. A team of volunteers has provided pastoral support to its members, visiting the elderly and housebound and delivering flowers to those who are unwell or bereaved. A prayer team offers prayer support for the local community and for those in special need. The church employs a part time office administrator. A wide range of activities are held for children and young people, which includes a Church led pre-school and toddler group. There are also activities for adults of all ages. Through these activities was provide support and guidance to a wide range of people within our community.

Financial Review Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period Income has remained steady. Where possible members are encouraged to make offerings by standing order. At the end of the financial year the charity has approximately S?/2 months of reserves which is above the set ob ective. We aim to hold in reserve sufficient money in our general fvnds to cover 2 10 3 months expenditure. The reason for this is knfold". (i) Expenditure is held in reserve as working capital to cover nomal running costs and to meet emergency calls on cash., and lill Certain costs, including our assessment, are paid in advance- money is therefore spent in advance of being raised. To cover this, the church needs further funds in reserve. At 31 st August 2022 our restricted funds stood at £39,407 with £44,449 as general funds. At 31st August our general funds represented 5/2 months of expenditure. Our restricted funds of £39,407 are held for the employment of a familieslyouth worker.
