As with any building work, on a building which is more than hundred years old, additional repairs were identified during the progress of the work and these were dealt with as appropriate as it made good economic sense to rectify these while the builders were on site.

Flnanclal Revlew The accounts for the year are set out on pages 6 to 12. The accounts have been prepared on the Accruals basis in accordance with the Statement of Recognised Practice for Charities (2015) as the gross Income exceeded £250,000. For the church the main source of income is the Offertories, Including the glving by some members by monthly standing order. hall hire and the income earned by the 501ar panels Installed on the roof of the church. The General fund, after maklng some transfers to the designated accounts, indicates expenditure In excess of receipts of £2,148 (2023- surplus of £267). The deslgnated funds are detailed in Note 17 of the statements and provide reserves to meet various categories of non-routine expenditure. During 2024 the value of the investments held by the church increased in value by £2,526. After taking into account the increase in the value of the investments held by the church and the spending on the building project the total funds of the church charity are approximately £41,000 lower at the end of 2024 compared with De￿mber 2023. The Restricted Funds comprise mainly of money given for the building projett, other charities and the funds of the church organisations. Reserves- the trustees considerthat a minimum of £10,000 should be held as a reserve in the General Fund to meet routine expenditure, and £7.000 was transferred from the Bequest Fund to the General Fund in 2024. Investment Policy- as some of the funds were not needed for current expenditure they were placed in investment funds with CCLA Management to provide a better return than

was available on Deposit Accounts. The income from the investments held in Designated Funds Is Included wfthln the general recelpts. Rlsk Managem@nt- the trustees have identlfied what they believe to be the major rlsks which the church faces and are satisfied that these have been adequately mitigated where necessary and revlew the risk assessment annually. Safe8uardln8 Pollcy-thÈ ch2rit¢s Safeguarding Policy is based on the one approved by the United Reformed Church and is reviewed regularly. The trustees and other key members of the charity have attended on-line refresher safeguarding training. Publlc Benefit- the trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guldance on public benefit including the specific 8uidance on charities forthe advancement of religion. Everyone Is welcome to attend our regular servlces and other activities. Volunteers- as would be expected within a church structure many of the actlvities are carrled out by volunteers. The stlpendiary minister is pald from the central United Reformed Church's Ministry and Mission Fund to which the church contributes. The work of the church Is, therefore, substantlally dependent upon the voluntary members and it is not considered appropriate to consider the value of this time. As mentioned earlier the total income and expenditure figures for the church organisatlons are included in the charityls Income and expenditure accounts. The year end balances are included in the balance sheet. Approved by the Elders and signed on thelr behalf by: Church Secretary: g Date: 01. 12.202
