Flnancial Revlew
Our total income grew by nearly 7019. allhough our unreslricled inc¢￿8 was marginally lower, with the increase in our
lellings income offset by lower gifts from Ihe lellow$hip and our property rental income. The fellowship income de¢re35ed
wilh lower one.off gifts and in our regular monlhly receipts. wilh Ihe consequenl108s of Gift Aid. The lelling income Came
from new hirers, along wlh a rate increase.
The reslricled gifts lo our mission partners and church member8 We￿ sp3nificanlly higher thi& year.
Our unfeslricled costs rose slightly thi3 year, with increased 8taff cosls wilh full year cos18 for our Youlh Worker, higher
maintenance costs on our residential properties and high costs for our youth work. These wére offset by savings from
lower utility and maintenance costs for our thur¢h buihling and the Ghurch away day. which did not take place this year.
Our restriGted expendilure rose in line with Ihe InC￿aSed gifts, vthich were foThvarded to mission partners, church members
and other charilable organisations, in lire with the gU￿anCe from our donors.
This leaves us with a significant increase in our unr8Stricted re5eNes, which are now at 8 level which is higher than we feel
is necessary, but in our budget for the year lo March 2026, there are a number of high valve item3 Ihai we expe¢l lo be
funded from our reserves, rather than regular income. which would reduce the reserves lo a more approprlate level.
The monies in our Property and Equiwent Fund are to cover htgh value expense3 on projects at Fairfield and our
residential properties with a long term benefit.

TREASURER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Risk Managemènt
The Finance Committee actively review the major risks which the church faces on a regular basis a￿1 have eslablished
syslems lo identify and miligale any significant ri5k5. The Ministry Leadership Team are led on financial matters by
Ikie Finance Committee, who regularly bring mallers lo their attention for their review and comment as necessary.
In the opinior¢ of the Finance Committee, there is currently no element of the church's activities which constitute a
signili¢anl risk.
Fundfai51ng Policy
The Charity does not use fundraising services, consultanlg or external professional fundraisers lo undertake
any fundraising activities. Additionally, no dala is shared with or sold to any external sources. The Charsly invites
individuals lo allend services and events bul does not exert undue pressure to allend or donate. 11 does not
approach or pressure vulnerable people to support its work.
Reserve￿ Poll¢y
The Finance Committee have reviewed the church's needs for roge￿e5 in line wlh the guidanc8 issued by the Charity
Commisyion and believe Ihat the aim should be to mainlain a level ol unrestri¢ted reserves where they would cnver al
least three months of the church's running costs. The level of reserves held a131st March 2025 is therefore considered
to be adequate.
The Property and Equipmenl Fund has been estsblished for many years, with annu81 allocations from the General Fund
and it is used lo cover the co81 ol major high value projects with a long term benefit. Thi6 frjnd can be used lo Gover the
eosl of major expendilure at Fairfield, as well as any of Ihe four residential propertie5 and for Ihe purchase for
replacemenl and upgrading ol Ihe IT and AV equipment at Fairfield.
Durlng the year, we have used monies from the Properly and Equipment Fund to cover the c05t of kitchen appliance8
al hvo of our residential properties, while 8t Fairfield, we have installed new external illuminated signage and bought
new lectern. a unil for contsclless payments and a keyboard for the music team.
Public 8eneflt
Within the church's obieclives of advancing the Christian religion and education, when planning our 8¢1ivilies for Ihe
year. the Trustees and Management Te8m have consKlered the Charity Commigsion's 9eneial guidance on public
benelit. in particular, the specific guidance on charitses for the advancement of religion, and also how planned activities
will contribute lo the aims and obje¢lives that have been Sel. The living out of 8 fruilful Christian faith expressed through
love of neighbour and contribution lo local communilies and Wofkplaces has a major positive public benefit for all parts
ol soaety and Ihose impacted by it.
Going Concern
The Trustees are satisfied that, wilh the leval ol assels held by Ihe church, it can continue as a going concern for a
period of at least twelve months from the date of approv81 of these financial slatemenls. The Trustees also have a
reasonable expectation that the Charily will have adequate re8ources lo continue in operation for the toreseeable future.
As the Trustees look forward into 2026. we have assessed our main risk is that our membership may reduce, wllh people
moving away from the area and othefs passing away. but we are confident that our regular income from our fellowship will
remain at a similar level to Prior years. with much of our income received through regular standing orders and from new
members joining the church. We have a150 seen an increased use of our church building by communily groups, which
will bring an increase to our income, while our cosls are cafefully managed. Furthermo￿, we have previou81y seen Ihal
when appeals are made to the church fellowship for addilional funds. these have been mel with a favourable response.
