Section D
Achievements and performance
Like most others, this year has been another difficult time for us though from August the church restarted physical church services and then in mid-September two of our clubs reopened. Unfortunately our children’s club remain closed and we are still unable to hold services in retirement homes. This year can be summed up as a slow and incomplete return to normal church activity. Once again the church board have been pivotal in guiding the church in this tentative recovery. Summary of the main achievements of the charity The Church board have also continued to be mindful of the needs of their during the year vulnerable members and connected persons, who have found the restrictions more difficult than most. We were able to continue as a Link Church for Christians Against Poverty (C.A.P)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
-
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
The income of this C.I.O remains wholly dependent upon the regular free-will offerings of the members and friends of the King’s Lynn Church of the Nazarene.
From time to time the charity receives one-off monetary gifts towards specific activities. These monies are always used in accordance with the donor’s instructions.
- Income is normally spent on renting premises and purchasing equipment and materials for our various activities, although this was substantially reduced until September 2021. Our income also provides a stipend for the Pastor, upkeep of the Manse along with payment of utility bills and other miscellaneous costs incurred by the Pastor in the pursuance of his work.
Reserves are kept for a Building contingency in addition to our operating reserve.
Section F
Other optional information
Our main source of funds was again much lower during this financial period, mainly due, it was thought, to not meeting in our normal place of worship. However this reduction in income was largely offset by not needing to pay hall rental and also by furloughing the Pastor for a number of hours per week. Since we returned to meeting in our usual venue (Reffley school hall) in September 2021, giving by the congregation has increased enough to enable the church to pay for the rent of halls and return to paying the Pastor’s salary in full just as the furlough scheme came to an end.
The Board planned for a budget performance of an excess of income over expenditure of £1100.00. Despite the difficult year, this was achieved mainly through reduction in outgoings.
