Performance against the charitable aims and objectives of the organisation are noted in the section titled °Achievements and Performance-. Reserves Pollcy The Dirertors and Trustees have examined the Church's requirements for free reserves in the light of the predominant risks to the Church. The main risk 15 identified as a reduct70n in the Church membership giving rise to a reduction in income.
