Reserv•s poll¢y for Gon•ral Funds
The General Fund as al 3151 August 2025 comprises unrestricted free reserves of £21,519 and
unrestrided d8signat8d res&Nes of £10.853 and exdudes fixed assets aThl restrictèd fvnds.
The church's policy is to hold free reserves equivalent to at least three months of annual expenditure.
Based on a budgeted annual expenditure of £61.250 for 2025128, the free reserves held represent
approximately four months of 8xpendilure.
Although the church re￿iVeS most of ils wular giving income through monthly standing orders, the
Iruslees consider it prudent to maintain this lèv81 of reserves to ensure the continuity of the church's
activities if access to the church buikling is restricted, resulting in a reduction in lettings income and
donations from church groups.
The trustees aim lo maintain this level of free reserves by apwoving a balanced budget, with financial
perf0mian￿ reviewed ￿n￿dIcallY.
The unrestricted designated reserves held at 31* August 2025 will be us&J to finance the installation of
secondary glazing in the church. The purpose of this dasignallon is to improve the inlemal environment
for worship, reduce gas energy consumption and lower the thurch's associated cathn fooiprinl.
This project was not induded within the redevelopment plan and it is expected that the works will be
completed during the 2025126 financial year.
5. R¢s•rv•s Pollc
for Restrlct•d Funds
Reslricled funds of £429.062 are held as al 31 August 2025. These funds have been received to finance
a major redevelopment of the church. InC￿rporatIng works idenlified in Ihe most recent quinquennial
inspeclion report. and are held in accordance wth the te￿$ imposed by donots and granl-making
bodies.
Further fiJnds of £345,224 have been pledged but not yet received from the church's membership and
other granl-awarding boJi8s in support of the redevelopment work and a￿ not induded in the restricted
funds balance.
Current estimates of the total cost of the redevelopment are approximately £1.66 million, indicating
funding shortfall. In response. the Church Council has approved an appliG3bon to be made to the
National Lottery Henlage Fund to support thè finanang of the pn)ject.
