each Sunday for worship. bibleteaching and preachin8 and also on other daysto support
speclal events and conferences.

The Beacon Centre- o new project in partnership with Ashford Together ondA5hford
Borough Council which is based in our premises rit 28 Bank Street in the heort of the
town centre, provldlng proctical help ond Jdvice to the homeless ond others in need.
The Covld-19 pandemic naturally Impacted our planned attivity for 2020. On 23rd March
and in keeping with government re8ulatlons and guldance the bulldlng was closed to all
non-e55ential a￿1VItIeS with staff working from home, fentals suspended and servlces and
meetings being switthed to on online format.
Durin8this timethe trustees and elder5 moved promptty to protett and maintain cash flow,
redu￿ costs and provide alternative ways for the congregation to continue supporting the
ministry throuth online engagement and givin8. Whilst donatit)n income has reduced YOY
due to the lack of physical meetings, general expenditure has been carefully managed and
additional funding sought for specific projects, Such as operation of the Food Bank.
Throughout 2020 the Food Bank saw a significarrt increase in actmty to support the
vulnerable In our communlty. On average, 153 fvmilies a week have been provided with
fDod duringthe 9rnth period from April to December2020. The trustees would like to thank
the excellent support provlded by many volunteers, local supem)arkets and catering
businesse&

helped to provlde some addltlonal income in 2021 to cover the overheads of the facility and
we also acknowledge the financlal support provlded inltlally for the refurblshment by:

Ashford Bomugh Council
Godinton Charitable Trust
The closure of the maln bulldlng for all but essential purposes irnpatted dirertly on the
Rentals activity that had previously provided sorne supplementsl income. In light of the
ongoing uncertainty as to when, if and how thls artivity might be able to resume and after
careful conslderatlon, the trustee and elders deaded to curtall all external bookings. Sadly,
thls resulted in the redundancy of a dedlthited administrative position. The reduced attivity
within the buildin8 has however allowed for a number of refurbishment projects to be
undertaken.
Our online broadcasting of Sunday services through Social media was established wtth a
dedicated Studio facility developed within the building. In addition to Sunday services
number of other regular broadcast channels were launched, for example,. Stretch Un-
subscrlbe and Word Up, this has resulted in much wider interest and aurfience engagement
with new people both locally and from other parts of the world now connerting on a re8ular
basis.
Moving Into 2021 have continued to rnonitor the physical restrirtions of meeting
together that the vlrus has imposed on the congregation. Following two limited participant
events In June 2021 In a covld secure maftner we have now re-opened for Sunday services
whilst malntainlng a Ilve broadcast channel.
Flnanclal revlew
There wa5 a surplus in the year on unrestrfttedfunds of £1,35112019: £23,556 deficitl
leaving a balance rarried forward at 31 December 2020 after transfers of £355,077.
Unrestricted cash at bank amounted to £53,32112019: £46,078).
GOI￿ Conwn
The trustees have considered the financial resources and commitments of the charity and
acknowledge that these are dependent on donations and fundraising activities of the
church. After rnakin8 appropriate enquiries, trustees have a reasonable expectbtion that
the charity has adequate resources to continue its operntion for the foreseeable future. For
this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the charitvs
flnanclal statements.
Reserve5 pollry
The charity 15 in recelpt of regular donated gifts prlmarily from church mernbers, this helps
to support the day-to-day V￿rk of the churth and in addition a reserve of £25,(MY) is
maintained in readily available funds. The trustees have assessed the major rlsks to which
the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that this amount is suffiaent to meet its ongoing
commitments at thi5 time.
