|Financial Review|||

|Review ofthe charity’s|Para 121|General Expenses, Need, Youth/Outreach|
|financial position at the end||& Transport and Hall Maintenance are|
|of the period||considered by the Trustees and|
|||acknowledged by all donors as an age-long|
|||practice in the Church as all part of|
|||UnrestrictedFunds that may, in the event|
|||of extreme expense, be used for the same|
|||purpose. For management purposes they|
|||are kept separate and reviewed as though|
|||they were separate.|
|||Trustees consider all these funds to have|
|||health balances and have given advice to|
|||donors of potential collections managed|
|||within restricted funds where greater needs|
|||are seen at this time recognising high|
|||inflation and other global economic|
|||impacts.|
|||With a healthy balance in the youth work|
|||fund, trustees have provided additional|
|||support to South East Youth camp and|
|||funded delegates to an International event|
|||for young people.|
|||RestrictedFunds covering Gifts (to|
|||individuals, third party funds and charities)|
|||are so categorised due to the nature of|
|||donor instructions (i.e. donors specify an|
|||allocation to those particular funds),|
|||making them ‘restricted”.|
|||The Restricted Fund for South East Youth|
|||Camp carried a balance of £27,535.|
|||Expenditure was lower than in previous|
|||years following the change of venue which|
|||saw both weeks of camp run from the same|
|||site which is owned by another church who|
|||patcipate in the camp.|
|Statement explaining the|Para 122|It is Trustees’ policy to maintain a balance|

|||approximately 50% of unrestricted|

||||It is the Trustees’ and Camp Council policy|

||||supplemented by general gifts received|
||||from individuals and from the South East|
