A Review of the Year’s Activities 2020/2021
The year began in lockdown with church services and Messy Church on-line and other church meetings, including Junior Church, on Zoom. The church building re-opened on 20[th] September for essential support groups. Advent and Lent Bible Studies were held jointly with Horley Methodist Church on Zoom. The Belfry Carol Service and the Christmas Journey were provided on-line.
Eventually services resumed in church with the congregation masked and sitting socially distanced. A good airflow and the worship area open to the hall made this achievable. The Sunday morning services were livestreamed. Messy Church continued on Zoom. Some regular users of the church rooms began to return, and most church activities resumed. Extensive repair work began on the church roof.
Redhill said farewell to Reverend Felicity on a Zoom gathering and service prior to her sabbatical and she moved to the South Essex Circuit in August. We welcomed Reverend Gillian Baalham in September 2021.

Financial review
-
Annual accounts have been prepared in the format prescribed by The Methodist Church. These have been submitted in a separate document. In view of the Church’s annual turnover which has been well below the threshold for accruals accounting for many years (a position not expected to change) and changes to requirements for accruals accounting, the Trustees agreed that the basis of accounting should be changed to the simpler Receipts and Payments basis with effect from 1 September 2015.
-
The deficit for the year on the church accounts increased from previous years as a result of the pandemic. Offerings were down by 20 percent and the Church’s lettings income was adversely affected by closure of the church premises during parts of the financial year. Although the Church’s reserves are sufficient to cover the increased shortfall in the short to medium term the deficits are unsustainable in the long term but the Trustees (in consultation with the Circuit) are fully aware of the position and are continuing to take steps within their control to address (or at least mitigate) the issue.
-
The reserving policy is essentially unchanged from previous years. Despite the continued size of the reserves a policy of actively reducing the level has not been adopted, and this has proved particularly prescient at the present time. Notwithstanding the current financial uncertainty the Church continues to be open to opportunities to utilise the funds for the benefit of God's work in our Church and Circuit. Neverthless we are also mindful of our duty of prudent stewardship of resources for the future, an Income and Expenditure Account that has been running at a significant deficit for a number of years and the prospect of an increasing expenditure on repairs and maintenance as the property ages.
-
Our policy for Restricted Funds is also unchanged. Apart from the small Legacies and Bursary Funds which are used when appropriate circumstances arise, the biggest Fund (Trust 16913) is now, for all practical purposes, indistinguishable from Trust 17944 in terms of how it may be used. Therefore the policy described above is applicable to both funds. Any investment income from Trust 16913 has historically been transferred to Trust 17944 and utilised to offset the deficits arising on the Income and Expenditure Account. No change to this practice is currently envisaged although it is now largely redundant.
