FINANCIAL REVIEW £111 050 A key fundlng source for thls charlty Is thank-offerlng donatlons recelved from Churches following repayment of their loans. These donations funded our running costs and supported our wider activities. £23.803 We also recelved proceeds of sale from closed Churches where thls charlty or Its predecessors. are named as the ultlmate beneflclary of the property. £5,613 from the balance of proceeds of closed Churches was made available for grants and the balance was added to our loan funds. £36 106 Charlty expendlture Is consldered to be modest at 0.6% of total funds (excluding grants and costs assoclated with ultimate trust properties). This is incurred in promoting the aims and awareness of this charity and dealing with its administiation.
