allocation of financial support.
Priorities for the Year

the next couple of years. These were to:
Encourage Evangelism
Foster Belonging
Create Space
Over the course of the year work was conducted on each priority. including exploring the possible purchase
of the fomier public house (The Bulls Head) next to the chU￿h building, establishing a working group for tt¥o
services, training in evangelism (on the Weekend at Home, using the Biscuit Trail resource, and at the
training event on reaching our Muslim neighbours) and preparations for a Comms Review. Plans were also
made for a joint mission week with Kingfisher Church and Christ Church, Cambourne in October'26.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The following fixed assets are held..
1. 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.

and are also Trustees. The remuneration of the Pastor and Assistant Pastor are reviewed by the Elders
each year. In accordance with the Church's constitution, these Church 8mployees do not attend the
meetings at which the Staff pay reviews take place. None of the other Trustees of the Church received any
remuneration from the Church during the year.
