Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The trustees meet twice yearly and regularly communicated by predominantly emails and occasional messaging. This time is to review commitments on a rolling year basis. We consider we have funds in hand to meet obligations undertaken. These are reducing in the current year, as Ministry Trainees are more self-funded, and as the COVID-19 Pandemic has reduced certain grants for covering travel and course expenses. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Reserves are held because income is not guaranteed from year to year and the trust wishes to be able to assure assistance where required. Specifically, a request for a substantial grant for a property purchase is anticipated in the coming years and the trust wishes to be prepared to assist here as well as in ongoing provision of grants to support Ministry Training and other purposes. |
