ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year||||This year saw a gradual
return to in person, on-site worship
more
akin to the pattern
prior to the Covid disruption.
However we have
continued
to model a hybrid
form ofchurch
particularly
in relation
to worship
provision
and this has enabled a great number of| |||||people to engage.| |||||Both Sunday
morning
services are streamed
with several
hundred| |||||people viewing each week from their homes
in Truro and beyond| |||||through
Cornwall
and other parts ofthe UK and even the world.| |||||We have continued
to operate Sambells,
our community
cafe. As| |||||is common
in many fields, we have felt the reality ofdeclining| |||||volunteer
base which has put pressure
on the continuing| |||||provision
ofthis important
community
service.| |||||Our premises
are used extensively
by community
groups
and| |||||other organisations
including
various choirs, counselling
groups,| |||||medical screening,
conferences
and seminars.| |||||An ongoing
programme
of maintenance
to the Church's
listed| |||||property to maintain
its "wind and water-tight"
condition,
and to| |||||enhance
the internal
facilities and decor| |||||Providing
a distribution
point for Truro Foodbank| |||||Providing
operational
support to Truro Street Pastors| |||||Expansion
ofventures
for young people led by the Truro Circuit| |||||Youth Enabler| |||||Our village chapel continues
to provide resources for the local| |||||community
including
a very effective toddler group and a| |||||community
food larder| |||||We have continued
to develop work with individuals
and groups| |||||which encourages
us to look beyond our church family to partner| |||||with the city-centre
community
around
us.| |||||The Church has reconfirmed
its commitment
to being an inclusive| |||||church and to work for a fully inclusive society. We have| |||||demonstrated
this through
our affiliation
with the Inclusive
Church| |||||Network,
reregistering
to allow marriages
ofopposite sex couple| |||||and same -sex couples to take place on the promise
and by| |||||continuing
an eco-church agenda.| |||||We continued
to plan for a major refurbishment
ofour premises.| |||||The project is moving
forward as the 'Truro Community
Hub.
' This| |||||project will help to address the lack of community
facilities within| |||||the city. Its potential
value was recognised
by leaders
in the| |||||community,
and we were invited to apply for a grant from the| |||||Truro Town Fund which is part of the government
Towns Fund.| |||||This resulted
in a grant of2952,000 to assist with our| |||||development
being confirmed
during
the year. We continue
to| |||||navigate
a funding
gap and the technicalities
of legal implications| |||||for the Hub project.| |||||In order to provide the prospect of reasonable
financial
security to| |Brief statement|||ofthe|the Church
and the Circuit going forward
the Church
Council has| |charity's|policy||on reserves|agreed to hold
in reserve the equivalent
of6 months
unrestricted| |||||expenditure
(this being f116,000 in the most recent year). In| |||||addition,
in accordance
with RICS guidelines,
we seek to build up| |||||a reserve equivalent
to 2.5%ofthe capital value ofthe buildings| |||||(this being F27,500 in the most recent year). The Reserves funds| |||||designated
by this policy amount
to 2143,500.Total reserves of| |||||2260,000 currentl
exceed this level.
