The church building at Cambridge Street, St. Neots, which purchased in 1981 and extended in 1991 2. A 500h share in 41 Gordon Close, Little Paxton. which was purchased in 2005 3. Various items of church equipment and fumishings, which have been purchased over many years All the above were included in expenditure in previous accounts prior to the charity being estsblished and no values have been carried forward. The Trustees do not consider the cost of including present day values to be worthwhile. for this report as there is no intention for these assets to move away from the charity. Should the assets be sold the charity would retain and recognise the income as exceptional. Reserves policy The Trustees have adopted a policy of maintaining reserves at a minimum level of three months of Staff costs. This policy was achieved throughout the year under review. The free resenrfes at the end of the period totalled £106,656. Mike Kendall (Pastor) and Pete Bennett (Assistant Pastor) were employed by the Church on a full-time basis and are also Trustees.
