||||||Despite the above it was great to see many people throughout<br>the|
||||||community<br>get together after a tough few years to support<br>this|
||||||anniversary<br>event<br>in many different ways.|
||||||The contribution<br>of the young members<br>ofthe congregation<br>in planning|
||||||the above events and taking part in building<br>activities makes<br>it easy to|
||||||maintain<br>the temple<br>building<br>and keep it clean and tidy. Progress on|
||||||lower community<br>halI and fire alarm systems<br>continued<br>during<br>the year,|
||||||which required<br>significant<br>investment.|
||||||The Youth Committee<br>and Management<br>Committee<br>continue to organise|
||||||events,<br>religious<br>and morals classes for the young<br>children<br>and|
||||||congregation<br>to take part in on Fridays and weekends<br>These classes|
||||||continue<br>to see changes<br>in numbers<br>and rely on parents<br>dedication<br>and|
||||||time also. The teachers and presenters<br>who organise and take part in|
||||||these activities are dedicated<br>volunteers<br>who also ensure that the|
||||||children<br>and adults enjoy coming to and being part oftheir classes.|
||||||The Temple had an important<br>part to play in ensuring<br>a safe environment|
||||||for which to attend,<br>had regular reviews of its covid risk assessment,|
||||||encouraged<br>the congregation<br>via announcements<br>and on-line to adhere|
||||||to government<br>guidance etc. We were pleased<br>with the support we had|
||||||from all in complying<br>with the requirements<br>we set out.|
||||||The members<br>ofthe congregation<br>who attend the temple are the main|
||||||contributors<br>offinancial donations<br>by which the temple<br>is managed<br>and|
||||||maintained.<br>We would<br>like to thank them but also to the members<br>ofthe|
||||||congregation<br>and management<br>committee<br>who continue<br>to provide their|
||||||attendance,<br>service and dedication<br>in all our activities. Volunteers,<br>young|
||||||and old are essential<br>in building<br>the future<br>skills, relationships,<br>knowledge|
||||||which are essential<br>in advancing<br>the objects of the trust.|
||||||The operating<br>costs of the temple continue<br>to increase.<br>Costs of utilities|
|Brief|statement||of|the|and ingredients<br>have risen significantly<br>and show little sign ofabating|
|charity's||policy|on|reserves|with such costs at least four times greater than previous<br>years due to|
||||||market and international<br>factors. Most essential<br>upgrades<br>to community|
||||||hall and Are detection were completed<br>during<br>the year to ensure that the|
||||||building<br>remains<br>suitable<br>to support the objects of the trust. This includes|
||||||lifecycle costs as components<br>come to the end oftheir useful<br>life, such as|
||||||CCTV.|
||||||Funds are invested<br>in cash deposits. Whilst returns<br>have been minimal|
||||||due to low interest rates, opportunities<br>for longer term deposits are|
||||||undertaken<br>where cash balances are not deemed<br>required<br>in the near|
||||||term.|
||||||Reserves are maintained<br>to ensure the operation<br>ofthe Trust<br>in the short|
||||||to medium<br>term and more importantly<br>also to ensure<br>sustainability<br>and|
||||||affordability<br>in the long term for future generations<br>as current<br>levels of|
||||||inflation<br>erodes such reserves<br>and increases costs. The Covid pandemic|
||||||and unforeseen<br>works to the lower hall highlighted<br>the importance<br>of|
||||||having<br>usable reserves<br>to manage<br>uncertainty.|
