A working paty was established (including Diocesan represenlalivesl to investigate resloralion and development approaches and pursue large scale grant appli¢alions, its efforts so far have fwussed on heating altematives. Atthough most mandatory restrictions were lifted in July the Covid19 Pandemic continues lo have an impact on daily life especially whenever a new variant is ￿entified e.g. the reintroduction of mandatory mask wearing on public transport and in shops from 31.11.21 due lo rapidly rising Cases of the more easity transmissible Omicron variant. We have, however, been able lo retum to church services. hold some events including many delayed weddings and also to hold face to face meetings (taking care to continue with appropriate precaulionsl. Due lo the inadequate healing system, land lately the rising ¢05ts of fuel), holding events in the winter months continues to be problematic therelore the impact of reslriclions during the warmer months over the past couple of yeaTS has had significant impact on income. No fvrther govemment restrictions were pul in place in December. Some small projects have managed this year indutjing new LED lighting and the temporary removal of the wooden screen in the South Transept and the clearing of the guttering of vegetslion and det)ris. The essenb.al repla¢emenl of a water tank in the rafters which failed causing water to enter the organ and the electricity consurrEr unit. The overall condition of the building and the major works required remain an ongoing area of serious concem. We received the QI rerK>rt al the end of the year and will seek further advice ffom the Architect earty in 2022 once we have had lime to assimilate ils contents. The foodbank which was started last year continues lo run and supports 8 regular number of users with numbers in¢rea5ing towards the end of December, the foodbank will continue lo serve our community until it is no longer needed. FINANCE The accounts enclosed with this report are selfoxplanalory, bul the following notes help to explain the resuY(. The lotsl income for the year was £47038 and total expenditure £42697. These figu￿$ reflect the significant impact of the loss of income caused by the ongoing reslriclions of the Covid 19 Pandemic with limited fundraising activity in 2021. Despite this we managed to m*t our obligats.ons lo the Diocese this year and made a commitsmenl lo make a small increase in our offering for 2022. Unfortunately, since making that commrtment the huge rise in domesb"c fijel prices has ptjl considerable extra pressure on finances which is unsustainable even in the short tem) and may impact on our abilty lo honour that commitment.
