Financial Review

Within this Financial Year Alive City Church UK saw a large increase in our income which was a result of members coming back to in person services and job prospectives opening back up after the Covid-19 pandemic. We also saw an increase in expenditure within the financial year due to a number of factors including more support offered to the local communities and intentionally investing to provide members with a better quality service such as music and media equipment.

Alive City Church UK endeavours to continue utilising their funds to aid members while also investing in equipment and resources to better serve the local and wider community.

The Trustees report was approved by the Board of Trustees
