Flnan¢lal Revtewlorthe YeareIn8 31 DKember2020 The past 15, as they say. a fore58n country. and never more so than rl8ht now. lookin8 back on mv report for last year, I refiected then on encoura85ng 51gns ¢f growth In our number¥ working among more young peopleand steadtyeNpandingevan8elistt< effort¥. But in March 2020 the first lockdown took place and lust about everythlng went sideways, if Mt backwards. thereafteF. Most obvtOU51y and as with most parlshes, COMD-19 has had a huge impact on our finances. For many months during lockdown we received no loose plaie colkctions and all par events. such as the fetes, were caThcelled. And the small but 5teody income we received from letting out our church ro¢ms to VariOU510(al organlsations drled up completsly too. But the biggest quexksn was over our most $18olficant source of flnance, whlth Is regular 8fvln8 frorn church members. Howwould that hokl up35the pandemlc unfolded? Those uncertèlntles needed urgent con9deratTr and 3clion. and I therefore asked Julie Sayers io estimate what our budget and cash flow forecasts looked like for the year. Her excel1 and hhlY professional work led us tts projett a shortfall of about £30,(KX) for the year. And because we did not wish to dip into our reserves any rn¢xeth8n ab501utely neetssary the Pccdecided launch an vrgent appeal to ralse that verylarge su As most people know we rdised almost E30,fM)O, almost exa¢tty. sf we Include Gift and the three year irKome from the renewed 5t0 Club.

Ourtotsl income for2020was É137,737, a drop of 5% on the previousyear. UnyJrpri5in8ly in the cirtumstance5 we also sought to cut expenditure to the bare bones. althou8h we did spend over £5,0 on the church foom at Alfold. as the damp was becomln8 a serlou5 problem and would have cost far more to fix had we delayed the work, We are also fortunate that mych of the work oft both our church buildlng5 is nol ab501uieW essential and can be delayed a year or two. by which time our finances will- God willln8- have recLwered adequatety enou8h for us to prOed.
