financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|**Our income has dropped due to the lack of**
**car park and room bookings. This is unlikely**
**to return in the immediate future due to**
**more people working from home.**
**Our expenditure has dropped so, for now,**
**we remain in a viable position although we**
**are eating into our reserves.**
**The trustees are aware of this trend and are**
**considering how we can raise additional**
**funds to sustain our charitable activities.**
**The roof repairs performed ‘at cost’ from a**
**local builder appear to have addressed the**
**immediate leaking roof issues. We may need**
**to make provision for more substantial**
**repairs in the future.**| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**The charity’s policy is to maintain sufficient**
**reserves to cover 6 months of operational**
**expenditure. From time to time we may dip**
**into these reserves to cover emergency**
**building or maintenance costs.**

risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|**The principle risks facing the charity are**
**1. The ageing church membership.**
**Although our members are very faithful and**
**active in their support, we recognise that**
**they are getting older and several have**
**passed away this year. However, we also**
**recognise that this church has always had a**
**similar age profile and so we trust that new**
**members will join us as others depart.**
**2. Ageing building in need of refurbishment**
**Our building is an asset which continues to**
**serve us well. We continue to sustain its**
**usefulness through sustaining repairs and**
**decoration. However, we recognise that as it**
**gets older, more major work may become**
**necessary for which the charity has no**
**immediate provision.**| Page 7 of 11 JamesStreetTrusteesAnnualReport2022v1.0.docx ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
