The benefit is for those who believe, to gain eternal life in the future.

## **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 £31,137 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**
## **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);
