Finan<ial Revlew Reserves Pollev: Within Unrestricted Reserve5 there are three main fvnd5: Soclety & Propemi Fund £171.77412023.' £134,944). We aim to ideally hold In SerVe sufficlent money to cover six months, expenditure. The Church is dependent on voluntary donation5 and hall lettings to cover the costs of its ministerial team. property costs and general expenses. As these income and property costs can be volatlle, this level of ie5erves 15 considered prudent to manage the day to day running of the Church in an organised manner and glve time for thorough review if any difficult decisions have to be made. Based on these accounts, slx months, typlcal generdl fund expendlture Is £75,500 50 at £171,774 reserves stand at over 12 month5. Given the contlnulng cost volatlllty at the present time, especially wlth ut¢llty Costs, this hiBher reseNe Is considered prudent. Le8acies Fund £51,03412023- £26.4391.

A legacy payment of £5Crf) was made durlng the year and the fund received a payment of £37,OCQ by way of repayment of a loan made to the Methodist Pension Fund.

Land and Bulldlngs owned on I September 2017 were valued at deemed cost as permltted by FRS102 when accounts are first prepared underthe transitional arrangements. For land, a market value was made by Ibbett M05ely and for fixed assets the dlscounted rep1arnent Cost IDRCI was cakulated. On the basis that there 15 no evidence of a permanent endowTnent, It Is assumed that the money donated io build the premlses was on the expÈctafjon of thelf long term use and so the falr value of the land, the bulltllngs and the organ on a DRC ba515 IS taken as their deemed histori1 c05t under FRS102, and treated as belongin8 to an expendable endowment for the Church's general purposes.
