When the first COVID-19 '1ockdown' w2S 2nnounced on 23rd M2rch

Section E
Financial review
In order to provide the prospect of reasonable financial security to
the Church and the Circuit going forward the Church Council has
agreed to hold in reserve the equivalent of 6 months expenditure
{this being £125.000 in the most recent yearl. In addition, in
accordance with RICS guidelines. we seek to build up a reserve
equivalent to 2.50/0 of the capital value of the buildings (this being
£27,500 in the most recent year). The Reserves funds designated
by this policy amount to £152.500. Total reserves this year
amount to £1,504,737 and free reseNes total £253.454
(Unrestricted nel currenl assets) and Iherefore, currently exceed
the required level. The Church Council has agreed to commence
a refurbishment project which will deploy the excess.
Reserves and budget monitoring are reviewed by the Church
Leadership Team (which meets every two months) and the
Church Council (which meets three times a yearl

Expenditure on Objectives
Much of the expenditure of the charity is concerned with the
provision of a premises for its wide-ranging activities, as well as
contributing to the costs of providing ministers and lay staff (most
via the Truro Circuit of the Njethodist Church) to carry out the
work of the charity

act of Covid-19
The financial Im
The effect of the pandemic on TMC finances was limited in the financial year to 31 st August 2020.
Over 900/0 of regular giving comes via bankers, orders and this was maintained. Most other income is
received during the winter months and so that had been received. On the Cost side utility bills
reduced and the church caretaker was furloughed as part of the govemmenl scheme. The outcome
for the year was roughly in line with expectations. However, there will be a need to draw on reserves
during the year to 31 sl August 2021 due to a reduction in seasonal income - mainly premises letting.
There is an assumption that the position should be restored in the 2021122 finaricial year.
