Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
We have continued to provide pastoral, spiritual and study
support for people able to meet on site and through our online
platforms.
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 of the UK and even the world.
We have continued to operate Sambells, our community café. As
is common in many fields, we have felt the reality of declining
volunteer base which has put pressure on the continuing
provision of this 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 surplus supermarket foodstuffs,
given away free to local people
Providing operational support to Truro Street Pastors
Expansion of ventures 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 of opposite 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 of our 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 Deal Fund which is part of the government Town Deal
Fund. This resulted in a grant of £952,000 to assist with our
development together with match funding of £500,000 from
Cornwall Council being confirmed. This, together with grants from
some grant funding bodies will enable the church to proceed with
the first phase of the project commencing during the 2024125
financial year with completion before the end of 2025126. Fund
raisin
towards the second hase will continue.
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 unrestricted
expenditure (this being £124,000 in the most recent year). 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
desi
nated b this
olic
amount to £151,500. Total unrestricted
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves

reserves of £394,000 currently exceed this level. This excess was
derived from reduced expenditure on the premises which will be
substantially upgraded as part of the Truro Community Hub
project.
