ofthe
following
the impact ofCOVID on the 2020-2021 accounts and
in determining
charity's
policy on reserves
how much, as a Church,
Penketh can continue to contribute
to Assessment
payments
to the Circuit in 2021-2022. Although
the guidance
from the Methodist
Church and The Charity Commission
recommends
holding
six months (50%)
total annual
expenditure,
new guidelines
and requests
from Sankey Valley
Methodist
Circuit has resulted
in reserves at year end being no more than four
and half months (37.5%)oftotal annual
expenditure.
This equates to f24,500
for Penketh.
Church
Council will review the policy annually.
Restricted Funds —All funds

Funds are for Lay Workers only.

to meet any future severance costs in the event ofneeding to make
Lay Workers redundant,

costs (based on statutory
redundancy
calculations
for each Lay Worker).
For all
three Lay Workers the total notice period costs, including
pension,
and
redundancy
payments
are cE10,000. Church Council
