## Review of progress and achievements 

. 

We continue to hold two services in the church and one by zoom each Sunday, as well as our bi-weekly bible studies by zoom and a monthly Messy Church service, which is aimed at families. Our mid-week service, held on Tuesday mornings, is regularly attended by 25-30 people from the locality and nearby villages and is particularly appreciated by those who are unable to attend the services on Sunday. 

Two biweekly groups meet in the church, a Games Fellowship and “Knit and natter’, giving opportunities for people to meet together. The three sections of the Scout Group continue to meet weekly. There is also a weekly badminton club. 



~ The Pastoral Leaders continue to work to ensure that all members are supported through regular contact from a member of the congregation and provide help as required. Production of the twice monthly newsletter continues to be carried out by volunteers, ensuring that all members continue to receive updates either by email or in print. 

The Community Action Group continues to support Trinity’s engagement in public issues and those facing the wider community, including fairtrade, ecology, homelessness and poverty. 

As a church we have a nominated charity of the year which this year was the local branch of Marie Curie. As well as a fund raising collections a number of events have been held at the church to support their work. We also hold retiring collections for other charities throughout the year. 

## Plans for Future Periods 

Following receipt of a generous legacy we have been considering how we can best use these new funds to support our members and our work for the community. Our members have indicated that a priority is to restart our Toddler group which was closed during the COVID pandemic. We are currently advertising for a Families Worker to support this work which we aim to restart in 2026. 

The heating system in the church building is becoming unreliable and we are reviewing options to upgrade the heating taking into account the net zero policy of The Methodist Church. 

In compliance with General Data Protection Regulations we will update our Church Directory in 2025. 



## Financial Summary for 2024/25 

## General statement 

Overall the financial performance for 2024/25 was satisfactory with total funds increasing by 2.4% over the year. 

## General Fund 

The General Fund showed a modest deficit of £1,869 for the year. Increased income from letting the rooms at the Church largely offset a decline in offertory giving by members and attendees. The increased interest income from the Legacy Fund enabled us to employ a company to keep the premises clean and to spend money on the fabric of the building to keep that in good condition. 

## Community Links 

The Community Links Fund continued to support the work of Messy Church including the employment of a Messy Church leader. The balance in this Fund fell by £562 during the year to a balance of £3,297 at the close. A decision was taken during the year to spend some of our Legacy Funds on the employment of a Families Worker. The recruitment had not been finalised at the year end but funds were drawn down from the Legacy Fund to cover the cost of this employment and this was credited to a new Community Links (Unrestricted) Fund 

## Legacies 

We drew down money from our Legacy Fund as described above but we also received a £10,000 legacy during the year so the balance in our Legacy Fund at the end of the year was just £831 lower than the previous year at £265,943. 

## Other Restricted Funds 

These funds, which have been donated for particular purposes, stood at £6,555at the year end. 

## Painting and Refurbishment Fund 

A transfer of £6,000 was made to this Fund from the General Fund during the year and a sum of £6,872 was spent on replacing windows and external decoration. The balance at the end of the year, with interest, was £10,495. 

## Donations 

Trinity donated £1,500 directly from the General Fund. 

## Financial Information 

The accounts for this year have been prepared on a cash basis and have been independently examined. A copy of the independently examined accounts are available on request from the treasurer.
