## **Trustees Report of Alma Street Wesleyan Reform Church** 

The year ending November 2020 showed a significant reduction in Offering income as a result of the Church being closed through the pandemic. Offerings in the year ending November 2021 almost reached the pre-pandemic levels, even though some of the regular congregation have been unable to return due to thier age and illness. 

During the year the Church benefitted from the sale of the Dickens Church in Wellingborough, receiving £27,470.97 as a share of the proceeds. 

The Church continues to hold a public worship service at 10:45am on Sundays and we continue to explore ways to serve our local community further.
