Section E Financial review

Policy on Reserves Brief statement of the Our Reserves Policy relates to our General Funds only. This includes our charity’s policy on reserves Barclays Bank Current Account and our 2 Central Finance Board (CFB) accounts. With our yearly circuit assessment figure of approximately £60,000, long-term mission support and other running costs of approximately £50,000 per annum, the Church Council considers it to be sensible for us to maintain reserves amounting to approximately 6 months’ average expenditure. That is around £50,000. Within our general funds we have a development fund (source: Legacy of Margaret Timpany who left, in total, just under £85,000 to Seedfield Methodist Church). The Church Council has set aside this money for developments to the church building and to resourcing our work in the local community. 10% of the legacy was distributed to other local charities in the area as a thanksgiving offering. In 2018 a Quinquennial Inspection Report was received which indicates that approximately £250,000 worth of work is required to the church building within the next 5 to 10 years. The Church Council has decided to set aside £70,000 from reserves into a new account which will be called “Seedfield Methodist Church Major Project”. This will, in due course, be match funded by funds held on behalf of Seedfield by the Circuit in the sum of £72,000. This being the receipt following the sale of the church’s youth worker house on Lynton Avenue. The church will need to raise a further £100,000 for the works of the building over the next 5 to 10 years.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

None

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

Funding

Our total income for 2019-20 was £96,936. This was largely made up by Congregational giving (just over £64,000), Gift Weekend and other offerings (£6525), interest and receipts for trust funds (£804) and income from renting the church hall (£8,150). Income is artificially inflated because 3 years’ Gift Aid was reclaimed in the year. This accounted for £34,474.65

Expenditure. Our total expenditure of 2019-20 was £110,905. This was made up principally by our Circuit Assessment figure of £59,332. Of the balance the majority was expended on the property in the form of maintenance, renewals and cleaning.
In continue our support for mission we spent £5,000 in support of Ros Bagwell.
