Section E Financial review

The reserves are currently held in cash, which the Church Brief statement of the Committee feels is appropriate given the volatility of the stock charity’s policy on reserves market in recent years. The Church Committee keep this policy under review.

The free reserves are the total unrestricted funds less the designated property funds. The free reserves are £18,011 at year end. This represents more than 12 months of operational costs. The Church Committee considers this level of reserves to be satisfactory given the necessity to continually maintain the church building.

Details of any funds materially in deficit
