The trustees of Church of God, a Worldwide Association - British Isles held our AGM on Sunday 5th December 2021. This report includes details of the discussions and includes certain additions and amendments to provide final “end of year” figures. After David Treybig (DT) opened with prayer, Chair, Peter Hawkins (PH) reported on the 2021 finances, here adjusted with end of year figures £ 80,892 Opening balance [£22,324 in January 2020] You **may choose** to include £ 50,561 Income [£86,793 in 2020 including one-off donation of £20,000] further statements, where £ 28,193 Expenses [£27,350 in 2020] relevant, about: £102,800 Cash balance at 31st December [£ 80,712 at Dec 31 2020] policy on grantmaking; Review of the responses from Google Ad Grant campaigns in 2021: policy programme related NB This programme is calculated in US$. investment; We had 29,800 clicks at $2.36 per click, a click-through rate of 17% [in contribution made by 2020 40,400 clicks at $1.61 per click, a click-through rate of 21.3%].

Our proposed 2022 budget was sent to Leon Walker, the International Coordinator, in October. Some of the highlights include the good starting bank balance of £102,800 on Jan 1st, 2021, higher than the predicted amount due to reduced travel and hall costs during the lockdowns required by government, as well as new contributors.

The budgeted Income was set at £31,500, while the Budgeted Expenses was £35,000. The dollar exchange estimate for 2022 is $1.25 per £1, but this is a guesstimate.
The following items for 2022 were included:
1. Combined services twice per month.
2. Continue reimbursing HQ for the cost of printing and shipping _Discern_ and _One Accord_ to Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
3. Continue reimbursing HQ for the cost of _Discern_ and _One Accord_ being sent to Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
4. We rely on Google Grants (to the value of $10,000 per month) to reach Britain and draw viewers to Life, Hope and Truth. There is a possibility of paid ads during 2022.
5. We maintained the three-month cushion for expenses, amounting currently to £15,000.
## **Festival report for 2021 and plans 2022**
The highest attendance at Torquay this year was 27 due to social distancing rules and restrictions preventing overseas visitors from joining us. A site in Eastbourne, East Sussex is being considered for 2022.
## **Renewal of trustees and two new appointments:**
David Treybig and Peter Hawkins agreed to continue as trustees. Two new trustees will begin serving the Charity during 2022. Michael Murdoch and Gareth Gordon were selected by the existing trustees.
## **Congregational matters**
Combined services are now taking place twice per month. This enables more fellowship between brethren, and more members are able to attend due to the locations. The White Hart Barn in Godstone and Soper Hall in Caterham are usually available, though sometimes we are pre-empted due to local activities taking precedence.
