The Church also supported local, national and overseas missionary activity as well as emergency relief. Details of our activities are publicised on our web site and facebook page.

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;

Our principal source of income is from freewill offerings from the congregation.
We do not engage in fundraising.
- Over 2020 our expenditure as a percentage of income was: Ministry 17%, Church life and admin 16%, Hire of premises 12% and Mission 49%; 6% of our income was held in reserve. Our expenditure is therefore broken down to:
- Ministry 18%;
- Church life and admin 17%; Hire of premises 13%; and
- Mission 52%.
We consider this expenditure was appropriate in meeting our objectives and loving our neighbour as ourselves.
We do not have an investment policy but should we accrue funds above £10,000, we would seek to invest these ethically.
