Pmvlslon of the ¢hurch IM•lldlnqforpeople to erfoy is important to us that the church is avallable for prlvate prayer, Dot just to the church famlly, but to the widèr vlsltln8 community. To this end the thur¢h building is open during the day. Many remark not only how refre5hlng It Is to find an open Church but, also the sense of peacefvlness and spirituality the churth pervades. Other fèedback indudes the sènse of history within. that people of much eartler generations found life and presence there, and comrnents on the appreciation of the architectural beauty of the building, espècially the Edward Burne-jones wlndows.

TRVSTEES ANNUAL REPOR7 P)ge Repulys to thefvbffic of the churth buildlng The only significant repair this year was to the church elock, the face of which was in danger of fallin8 to the ground. A new digital Master clock was requtrèd as Wds a new striking hammer for the ho¢JTly chime. The cost of this was £5,6(Y). Why we hokl some money In reserve is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds lexdudin8 property) which equates to approximately three months, worth of unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen 51tuations. The closing balance of £15,297 this year did not achbeve this, although we expect to have sufficient cash flow to continue to pay bills when they fall due. As well as holding the above gèneral reserves, from time to time the PCC récèives restricted legacies for expenditure on restricted purposes. defined by the donor. The legacy of £178,641 from William Bailey fa115 into this category. When St Margarevs Cottage is sold, we will depostt the income and legacy money to our 6(kday dep￿t account with Shawbrook Bank to a¢crue some interest and for security of not keeping large surns in our current accounL Management of risks and thelr mitigation The PCC has an ongoing tssk of reviewing the major risks impart on the work of the thurches in the paTish. The usual PAT testing and firè extinguisher checks have been carried out The PCC conslder that the prinapal risks and uncertainties are.. The heatth and safety within the churd) buikling in particular a potential trip hazard with lifting floor tiles. This issue be resolvoj following the re-ordertng project expected to commence in January 2023. The neeil to fund unexperted costs. Alt unexpected fall in income, as seen in 2020 and this year. The requirement to find volunteews with the appropriate skills. time and commitment to support the ministry of the congregation. The PCC seèks to manage these risks and uncertainties by regu￿rtY reviewing its Mission Action Plan afid its plans forthe use of the churth buildings i.e. the chuich itse￿and St Margarevs Cottage, which is on the market for sale.. We aim to maintain our propertie5 to a high standard and carries Qut the priority items of a quinquenntal review in a timely manner. We airn to diverslfy income and plan to more effertively hire out the churth building to external parties once the re-orderlng takes place. We are pleased to be able to pay l(KJ% of ourparish share Én 2021 lamounting to £74,3CQI and are working to continue this in 2022. Future Un￿rtaIntleS The incidence of COV11>19 and the subsequent lockdown necessttated closure of ourthurch and St Margaret's Cottagè for much of 2020 and also impartèd our acb"vities in 202L This resulted in a decrèase in incoming hiring fees, cash donations and fvnerallwedding fees. Fortunately, rnany parishioners had seen the necessity of transferring to the Parish Giving Scherne in 2020. At this point in our year. we do not expect more than a 5% reductbon in incomin8 resources, amounting to approximately £6,(￿, oftset by sawngs of heating and power costs of much thè same amount.
