but It was crltlcal that the work was undertaken urgentlv.

During year ending 3110812024, the pre-school had a difficult first eight months wlth the unexpected replacement
of the hall floor. Running the pre-school in justthe smaller hall, with builders, noise, dirt and cold to deal with
was difficult for the staff but they all worked successfully hard to ensure the cantlnuation of a safe, secLtre and
stlmulating learning environment for the children. However, the'new hall" has given the pre-school a much

warmer, modern, pleasant space in whlch to operate now and into the future. The Early Years sector is enterlng a
time of change with the age of chlldren receiving funded thlldcare belng reduced from three years down to nine
months. Our pre-school may well need to lower the age of intake of the children, currently set at two years, to
ensure survlval. A time of change but not of concern yet.

Safeguardln8
Every petson has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation Df male and female In God's own
image and likeness. Christians seethls potentlal as fulfllled by God's re-creatlon of us in Christ. Among otherthings
this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.

Reserves Pollcy
The Reserves Pollcy for the Church Is to hold 3 mlnlmum sum equlvalent to 6 months, aver38e expenditure, Thls
should be sufficient to meet any unforeseen Item of major expendSture on the church bulldlng and l or to be able
to contlnue, In the short term, funding planned actlvltles In the event of any inability to raise the full expenses
including the assessment payable to the Circuit. On 31 August 2024 the general fund balance, excludlng fixed

reserve5 policv.
Investment poll¢y
To comply with Methodist Standing Orders, monies for long term investment are lodged with the Trustees for
Methodist Church Purposes rrMCPI. TMCP acts as custodian trustee for all bequests and are held on deposit. The
capitsl returns are close to tracking the movements in the FTSEIOO index and income mirrors the deposit rates
available elsewhere. Both the Central Finance Board ICFBI and TMCP take into consideration social, environmental
and ethical considerBtions, both negatively and posltively, in establishing investment policy.
Short term dep051ts are lodged directly wlth CFB and attract good rates of Interest.
PaEe15

There are no benchmarks for the expected returns or appreciation on Snvestments at TMCP and CFB. It is the
Church's policy to manage cash and investment resources so that the rate of return on investment Is obtained at
least as good as market rate considering the Church's low appetite for rlsk.
