rnembers go through the waters of Baptism which has increased or attendance numbers on the Sunday that
they happened.
At varlous times during the year we have held several aclivities for the children in the local area. Including a 3-
day Holiday Club, a Li8ht Party lan alternative celebration to Halloween) and a Christmas Party- These special
events are well published by Leaflet drop, delivered by church volunteers, and posters outside the church

We are conlinuing to use the ?OOM" platform to enable those that are not able to attend meetings In
person. This enables them to have contact with other members and join in at Prayer Meetings and the
monthly Sunday evening Communion service. We operate a Pastoral Care system whith means that all who
are house bound are contacted re8ularly to ensure that they are being looked after and to see if help is
needed. Our Minister and Assislant Minlster also visit thern in their own home, If they have not been able to

safe meetin8 place lor both old and young of the local community. The Trustees have made an assessment of
the major risks faang the church. and are satisfied that there are poliaes in place to minimise these risks.
Flnandal Review
During the year120251 we have contlnued to keep. both the church buildings and the manse in 8ood order
with repairs and general maintenance carried when necessary. Our income for the year rose to £68.136
leavin8 a deficit of £20,267 over expenditure. Thls has mainly been caused by the need to replace the roof of
the manse at a tost of £16,6CKI tO8ether with the first full year of our Assistant Minister bein8 employed.
During the year we have been able to donate £1.831 to local charities as well as donations of £2.4Cx) to the
Baptist Missionary Society. We have been able to clalm Gift Aid from HRMC of £10.755 from the various gifts
and donations received. We are grateful to all those who have so generously given to enable us to contlnue to
meet all our objectives and aims.
The church continues to raise the funds which it needs to carry on Its activitles from wiihin its own
membership and congre8ation. No wider public appeal was made for funds durin8 the year.
The Charity has a Reserves Policy in place and is satisfied that they have sufficient reseprfes at the Balance
Sheet date, together with on80ing income anticipated, io enable ihe church to function effertrvely in Ihe
comin8 year. An amount of £40,(IXI mlnlmum is to be held to enable the Chaiity to fulfil its financial
obli8ations.
The church Is heavily dependent on its membership working as volunteers in all aspects of the church's
activities. many of whlch run with little or no impact on the church's expenditure, but nevertheless contribute
substantially to the achievement of the church's objeclives.
