| Section D | Achievements and performance |
|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
We have again achieved the budget requirements of the Nazarene South District, which contributes to their costs, the running of the Didsbury Nazarene Theological College, the benevolent fund for retired ministers and World Evangelism. We have also helped a number of persons through times of serious illness and bereavement by prayer, and pastoral care. Over the year we have have experienced an increase in ethnically diverse attendees. Much of the year was taken up with investigating possibility of purchasing a redundant Methodist chapel to use as our own place of worship and running clubs, even though it would involve stretching our financial resources. However by a slender margin the membership decided not to proceed with the purchase and remain in the local school hall. |
| Section E |
Financial review |
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves |
The charity’s policy is to ensure it has sufficient reserves to meet its financial responsibilities for at least four months. After our yearly review, the Church does have reserves equal to four months planned expenditure. |
