The support ol bkne ri frian(aal need through Ihe Art(s of Kindness project grew during this year. Food distribution fortnightiy to the Bery Brow fiats continued during 2021r22 using food surplus through the Fareshare chanty and donations from the pthlic at a local 8upemark8t.

The churth a180 Lx>ntn'buted to 8UPPOrt chur¢he8 in Ukraine *tho are part of Christ Central. Financial Review Total Income for the period of this report was £105,807 which was a decrease of £17,481 on the p￿viouS year. This decrease was due to a fall in both regular and special offerings compared to 2020121. Regular donations from djurch attendees, a￿1 the as80ciated tax recoverable on these gffts, accounted for 91 % of the income. Ex￿nditUre deC￿aSed by £5,996 during 2021122 compared to 2020r21 largely because of on8 of the full-time church pastors going part-time as well as the I0￿r level of missional giving. This was offset by the iise in venue hire as fa￿ to fa￿ rneetings resumed as Covid strictions ￿re relaxed and eventually remobpd. Total Expenditure was £111.588 for this year. (￿erall, there was a net deficit of ￿5,781 for the year compared to a nel ncome of £5.704 in 2020121. total fiJn(k carried foThrard *ere £23.167. The charity continues to maKrtan a wlicy of having, *there possible, sufficient reserves to at least cover salaries, tax and incidental payments associated with our employees over ttEir noti￿ periods. At the year erKI the churth's bank balan￿ of unrestricted funds at £15,862 was slightly lower than the amount needed for r￿rVeS policy but this was due to the delay in re￿Iving tts gift aid recoverable for December 21 to February 22. £3,838, which was daim&J in March 22 kxrt due to issues at HMRC was r￿t credited to ￿ Ark's bank account until May 22. The reserves policy is continually under review by the Trustees and is a top priority for dis￿$s1on at our meetings durirvJ the current fnancial year. Financlal Impact of COVID-19 going fornard It is anticipated that exrwNJiture on venue hire will in¢rea8e again durirYJ 2022r23 compared to 2021r22 due to a full yèar of these costs. The SUF¥)Ort of vulnerable people through Arks of Kindness is budgeted to carry on as the current economic crisis folloviing the virus is forecast to have a signfficant unpact with risi￿ prices partiojlarty on food and utilities. The impact on income in 2022123 is not budgeted to be s￿nIficant as the rise in members, and therefo￿ regular giving, will more than offset any inc(Yne re(kKaion due to of economic downtum.
