These are: The Joyce Storey Memorial Fund, managed by the PCC Standing Commrtee. It Was eSt3bl￿hed from the investment of half of the capital from the Joyce Storey bewest to enable the church to support suitable proFcts in the comnwnty. An opportunity was taken at the st2rt of the year to transfer £5.100 of the cash ￿laThCe to the PCC Equ￿ Investment Funds re(kKmg the opening cash balance to £483. Recepts of £3,477 from investment income and loan rePa￿n￿ts together sP￿d of £1381 hardship ￿nts resulted in a final balance of £1.578. Grants were rarely paid as cash: the usual practs.ce being the payment a spec￿( debL where such aCt￿n will make a syithcant d￿erence in the ability of the recipient to manage their financial future. One of the grants was on a loan basi5 and is being repamj ￿￿)nthly. The Café committee manages the Memory Café proiect. The propct continued wrth monthly café meetng wrth a variety of themes, warn)er weather excursk)ns and a Christmas Lunch. The level of expenses increased thts year to £2,717 because of the team investing in 3ddits(mal resources to swort rts planned programme. Re(eipts were lower than last ￿ar at LI.￿5 mainly due to lower grnnt levels, leaves the projert wrth a healthy year-end balance of 15,145. The Pantry Proiert reached a state of maturty thrng the yEar and now Conc￿trate5 on usng a socul gathering every Monday to provKle both food (*her athKe. A voucher scheme for fresh vegetables has been iitroduced. The proiect ￿ managed by the Chagford Pantry Team Initsally under the leadership of Tony Milton untsl he chose to retire due to Ill health; LLZ Goothym and Hils Bush are sharng this role for the tmle being. The main sour(e of income from donatK)ns and. Ixher training and some basK supporting res￿￿es, all the ￿ltsOngs are for the purchase of food to supplement the food donatKXlS made by the public. The size of the need is clear from the expendrture of £6.975; up by over £ I,O(K) from last year. However, Income of £7,084, £2,0(Kl less than last year. results m 2 year*nd balance of £5,730. This balance would enable 8 mc*)ths of 5￿POrt even rf donats)ns droFped to zero.

As the COTrordmator is based in Chagford it is sensible to locate these servKes at St Michael's In both cases it is the legal respons￿•1￿ of the manwng org2nisation to cover the costs incurred by St MKhael's. Nornially these funds, the Employment Fund, would finish the year wrth net zero balance. However, the youth project has c￿tnUed wrth its request for the PCC to hold their surp￿5 income whdst are sorting a better bankmg arrangement for themselves.
