Dear Trustee 

## **Jireh Chapel & Houses, Tenterden Annual Report 2022** 

## **Church matters** 

The Sunday School continues to meet every Lord’s Day between the morning and afternoon services. One member joins online as the distance to chapel is too great for her to be able to come in person, although there are some occasions when she is able to join us. 

The Skype system set up at the chapel as a result of the pandemic to enable services to be relayed to people unable to attend continues to be used. This is for the benefit of the members of our own congregation, who can listen in even when unable to attend, and we are also joined at most of our services by people from other causes, for which we are very thankful. 

## **Chapel houses** 

The upper (2-bedroom) flat at 1 Jireh House continues to be managed using a letting agent, Jago & Jago. Tenants for this flat left in February 2022 but the flat was immediately let again with new tenants moving in at the end of February 2022. One of these tenants subsequently moved out six months later but the remaining tenant continues to be in residence there. 

The downstairs flat continues to be occupied by the previous tenant. 

## **Annual accounts** 

The annual accounts for the year 2022 are enclosed. You will see from these that the reserves held by the church have increased this year by £4,000. This is a loss of £20k relating to the Chapel and a profit of £23k relating to Chapel Houses. As can be seen year on year, the chapel runs at a deficit and is supported by profits from the chapel houses as the collections and gift aid do not cover all running costs. For more details on this years accounts please refer to the notes at the bottom of the accounts. 

The accounts were audited again by Mr Samuel Parish from Swavesey.  His report raised no areas for concern. We are very thankful to him for his assistance in this. 

This report and annual accounts have been submitted to the charity commission. 

Please contact me by email if there are any questions or observations. 

With Christian love. 

Yours sincerely 

Edward Pont, Deacon/Church Secretary
