demographic, with older people from the community coming in for lunch and a chat. We run popular parent and toddler/baby groups weekly as well as groups and events for children and youth. We offer wellbeing activities such as bereavement support, a Bible based craft and lunch for older people and a Knit and Natter group, in addition to prayer meetings and Bible study courses, and a women's breakfast- the Well, once a month. We have adopted a local care home where some of our volunteers have befriended residents and we conduct a short service for residents at the home every month. We have regular Bible study and Alpha courses to support people who want to explore and develop their Christian faith. We also link in with other organisations, such as At A Loss, to provide support to those suffering bereavement and hold charity fund-raising events such as Quiz Nights and musical events, through which we have supported local charities and raised money to support our own causes. Financial Review Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period Para 1.21 The charity ended the year with an unrestricted deficit of £4188.06, which was mainly due to our investment in the local community through the café, and a reduction in funding through grants from previous years. The staff team also increased to support the growing operational demands on administration, community 5UPPQrt and worship needs, that could not be covered by relying on our valued volunteers and already stretched paid staff team. The Trustees agreed a policy to hold 250A of total annual budgeted expenditure in reserve to cover essential costs in the event of a sudden loss of income. This is currently proving difficult to sustain and there is a planned focu* on strengthening our reserves In the comingyear.
