Independent Examinerfs Commentsry on the Churcws Reserves Pollcy
As part of our independent examination of the church's financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2024, we have reviewed the Church's developing reserves policy.
The Church Is currently forniulatlng Its reserves polity in line wlth the Charlty Commission's guldance
(CC19.. Charfty Reserves), which encourages charities to determine a reserves level approprlate to their
particular activities, rlsks. and future plans. The 8uldance recognlses that there Is no standard amount or
fomiula and that each charlty should justify its approach based on Its own clrcumstances.
In thls context, the Church Is glvlng thoughtful conslderation to the level of reserves requlred not only to
support ongoing mlnlstry and operatlonal activity, but also to prepare for potential adverse s￿narios-
specifically. the possible closure of the church centre, while almlng to maintain core church functions.
To this end, the Trustees have begun identifying key financial exposures, includlng:
An estlmated £15￿50 for potentlal redundancy costs for employed staff.
Additional short-term closure costs- such as utilities, insurance, staff salaries and programme-
related commltments- estimated at £66,245 over a three-month perlod, based on current
figures.
These e5tlmates have been drawn from recent expenditure data and documented assumptlons. It is a150
recognised that some designated fund5 (such as those held by Café Oasis) may be avallable to rneet
specffic Ilabilltles.
The ￿SerVeS policy remains under development and Is subjert to ongolng refinement. The Trustees plan
to revlew and update both the assumptions and cost estimates annually. and to ensure that the
reserves held are sufficient to meet both normal operational needs and any reasonably foreseeable
rlsks.
In our vlew, the Church Is taking a measured and responsible approach to reserves planning. The
consideration of potential closure c05ts and the use of scenario-ba5ed planning align well with the
prlnciples of the Charlty Commission's guidance. While the pollcy is not yet finalised, the work to date
demonstrates a clear understanding of the Importance of financial resllience and transparency.

Secretary's Report 2024
Our Church Centre continues to be busy durlng the week with many activitles taking place
as different groups use our premises. It was also good to see an increase in church related
events such as a Christmas Fayre (the first since Covid), concerts, cake sale, quiz etc to
raise money for our church project. Several successful 'reunion' afternoon teas were held
for people no longer able to physically attend services. This gave an opportunity to meet
up again with friends and socialise. The Café continues to operate 4 days a week and
provides lunches after our Church Meetings in aid of the church project. There is still
concem around financial viability so a consultant from Development in Social Enterprise
introduced by the Neighbourhood Networking Scheme, came to give advice. He reported
that the basic operation was sound and gave suggestions on how to increase fooffall. The
Café is very much appreciated by all who use it and receive home deliveries.
Our Community Hub Manager has taken on an expanding role networking with local
support services and Sutton Coldfield Town Council (SCTC). This has led to a variety of
community events and projects taking place on our premises. Some local agencies e.g.
MIND, Occupational Health and Social servI￿s continu8 to use our premises for their
health and community outreach services. This also provides additional support and help to
the users of our Food4U Foodbank. Food4U operates 1 day a week and level of use
remains high. Volunteers also deliver produce to users who are unable to physically attend
the session. Our Parish Nurse is actively involved in the work of the foodbank and the
service continues to be well used and valued by both the congregation and the wider
community.
All these activities are dependent on external funding so constantly under review. As there
is a heavy reliance on grants, making applications is very time consuming and not always
successful due to increased demands on limited resources. Because of this uncertainty of
funding, a Church Meeting discussed the possibility of applying for lottery funding. There
was no consensus at this time, but the topic will be revisited next year. On a positive note,
the church has b8en working with Sutton Coldfield Town Council on signag8, planting etc
to improve the area around the church as people come into town.
Our church service continues to be held each Sunday and is live streamed making it
accessible to those who are no longer able to physically attend. Church membership
remains fairly constant at 93 and attendance at the Sunday service (on site and online)
continues at around 70. We continue to offer our midweek more reflective service with an
emphasis on prayers for healing. Our Uniformed Organisations led 2 Parade services
during the year which were well supported.

Activities for children and young people are thriving through the work of Uniformed
Organisations, Messy Church and Messy Tots. We are no further forward in recruiting a
Youth Worker as the nature of the role is still under discussion. The weekly updat8 sent
out electronically by the minister keeps members and friends up to date with
communication.
During the year, we were able to refurbish the ladies toilets and upstairs bathroom which is
available for showers as required by some of our users. We still have a lot of property
related issues to address and are looking at how to fund this work and other essential
maintenance. To this end the Church Meeting took a 'one-off decision that our church
project for 2025 should be church funds. We continue to work closely with the other URCS
in our pastorate and also hosted the West Midlands Synod meeting.
Governance
Regular reports on conflict of interest, safeguarding and health and safety are laken at
each Elder's meeting and Safeguarding is also on the agenda for each Church Meeting.
Work Is ongoing on health and safety and Eco church. In line with URC Good Practice
guidance we have updated our Safeguarding policy.
The church has its regular pattern of meetings. Monthly Elder's meetings are held in
person as are quarterly Church Meetings. The Finance and Property Committee meet on
the premises approx. every 2 months and are actively putting together projects for general
maintenance and energy efficiency - again looking for grants to fund this work in 2025. 2
Elders stepped down at the end of 2023 and we ordained and inducted 1 at the beginning
of the year thus maintaining a viable and representative Eldership and group of Trustees.
