Flnanclal Revlew
The Charity recorded net Outgoing resources of £l.05512024 Incoming £1,212) on the General and
Property unrestricted reseNe and in total. including designated and restricted funds. a net outgoing
of E15,65212024 incoming £20.5391.

Financlally, we have seen Income from hiring out our property. slightly reduce, cornpa￿d to the
previous year. We also saw Small reduction in total congregational 8Nin8. In the year we received a
legacy of just over £23,000.
Unrestritted fund5 have increased to £112,05112024 £107,166). Of these fvnds £9,07812024
£15,000) 15 reserved for ￿tUre maintenance, repair and improvement to our suite of building5.
The Increase is primarily due to a surplus of £16,654 on the coffee shop account for the year. We
used £5,922 ofthe property renovation reseNe and £4,792 oftheThrift shop reseNe.
Building developments
There were no significant building projects in the year and spendin8 was restricted to regular repair
and maintenance.
Restricted funds..
The Pre-school is treated as a restricted fund and hold5 a reserve of £61,937 {2024 £99,228) a
reductlon of £37,29112024 decrease £12,541) compared to the previous year. The reduction arose
due to, an imbalance between staff re￿urCeS and children: this ha5 been corrected in 2025126. The
previous yearfs reduttion was due to spending significant sums on refurbishing the outside play
area.
Income 5pecificalty raised for Bitesize church and expendtture on Bitesize Church has been shown in
a Restricted fund.
Policy on reseNes
The church council approves a detailed reSe￿e policy each year for each of the unrestricted and
restricted fLJn(Ss.
In summary the General and Property reserve is set at a level to absorb the occasional yearwhere
this account is in deficit.
Other designated reserves for the Thrrft shop and Coffee shop a￿ set to provide working capital for
those operations and a hedge against the risk of equipment failure or the crystallisation of other
risks
The Trustees are con5CIOU5 of the significant suite of buildirkg5 that they are responsible for
maintaining. Over the last five years significant spending has taken place from the Property
novation reserve and the Trustees consider that this reseNe needs strengthening to make sure
that the building5 can be maintained to their current high standards, however that Wa5 not P055ible
this year and around £5,000 was used from the renovation reserve for significant repairs, but it
remains an aspiration to strengthen this reserve.
Principulfunding 50urce5
