Financial review
Brlef ststement of the
charlty's policy on rosorves
In order to plan for the financial stability of the church, the Church Council
keeps under review the level of reseNes it should retain, taking account
of expected income available to fund likely costs, and the need to cover
forecast deficits, cashflow variations and contingencies, The level of
reserves is planned to reduce significantly in the Coming year in order to
contribute to the costs of the major property improvement programme.
However, reserves are being retained to take account of Covid risks and
the need for major maintenance and renewals over th8 next five years or
so.
