**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

The Church has continued to provide regular acts of worship, space for prayer and demonstrated its care to the community by supporting a number of social projects and activities. 

Prior to the restrictions announced due to Covid-19 the Church provided acts of worship and a range of other activities on its premises. Work with children and young people included a new service at 9.15am on Sunday mornings and following the previous year’s “Summer of Play” a monthly children’s activity afternoon/messy church called “Take 2” which was open to all and those who had attended Summer of Play were specifically invited. Church premises continued to be used by the Scouts and Guides movements until restrictions took place. The Dads and Tots Group continued to flourish and met on Saturdays. 

Members of the Church also supported a number of social projects including an open “Stay and Play” session one afternoon a week for parents and toddlers, Street Pastors, Action for Children and Age Concern Lunch Clubs. 

Following the national restrictions to reduce the spread of Covid-19 and in accordance with guidance issued by The Methodist Church in Britain, the Church ceased to provide activities on-site within its premises. With other churches in the Circuit it continued to offer regular acts of worship on-line and continued to support members of the church and community initiatives within the guidelines, specifically, with pastoral arrangements for its members. We made use of our website and Facebook page to

Section D                      Achievements and erformance p share encouragement, and access to worship, for the community, as well as putting up banners and displays outside the building for passers-by. The Take 2 event moved online for families and happened weekly. The Trustees considered measures and actions to allow a safe return to on-site activities, including a detailed risk assessment. We implemented social distancing and increased hygiene on the premises to ensure compliance with COVID-19 government guidance. Starting on 2 August 2020 the church opened for led prayer sessions twice a week. Then acts of worship on church premises resumed on 6 September 2020. Community groups, including support groups, started resuming activities on the premises from mid-August following local risk assessments and Covid-19 safety measures being in place. 

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

The Church Council has reviewed the reserves policy and has agreed to work towards a policy of maintaining reserves and investments of between £40,000 and £45,000 this being approximately 40% of the annual ordinary operating expenditure of the Church. This is held in particular against major expenditure on the fabric of the Church. 

As at 31[st] August 2020 total reserves and investments stood at £165,839.12 made up of 

- £114,411.84 in general reserves 

- £50,568.09 designated as a “Legacy Fund” as a result of a major legacy of £81408.22 received during 2014/15 plus a number of smaller amounts. 

- £859.19 in the Benevolent Fund 

In addition, the Church benefits from interest from two endowments, invested in funds managed by the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church, with a value of £20,505.88 providing £367.05 in interest to the Church in 2019/20. **Details of any funds materially in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

**Sources of funds** The Church raises its funds by weekly offerings and donations from members and those attending worship; through lettings of the church’s buildings and feed-in-tariffs from solar panels. Interest is received on church funds held in bank/savings accounts and from investments. 

**Investments** Of its general reserves of £114,411.84 at the end of the financial year the Church held £33,938.56 in investments managed by the Central Finance Board (CFB) of the Methodist Church in the CFB Managed Mixed Fund. 

- investment policy and **Use of reserves** objectives including any Following the receipt of a substantial legacy in 2014/15 the Church ethical investment policy embarked on a consultation process among the congregation to adopted. determine how this gift and some other smaller gifts, designated together

as the “Legacy Fund”, might be best used in furtherance of the purposes of the charity. The Trustees agreed to seek to employ a families and youth worker from the Legacy Fund to further its charitable objectives and an appointment was made starting in 2018. The remainder of the legacy was planned to be used on major building works including work to refurbish the toilets in the building. This work started in 2018/19 with the creation of a new disabled toilet. The Legacy Fund continued to be spent on these projects in 2019/20. The Trustees will continue to review the use of the Legacy Fund in the light of the impact of the Covid pandemic. 

## **Accounts for 2019/20** 

The accounts for the year are attached to this annual report. Receipts during the year amounted to £101,923.75 and payments to £131,559.23. 

The Church held collections for a number of other causes amounting to £548.45
