MONITORING RETURN, ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS 6 th April 2025 - 5 th April 2026

As there has been no change from last year, this report remains the same, with no additions or removals needed. It has been yet another very difficult year for the church.

Attendance at both the Sunday School and Thursday Children’s Meeting continues to be low, as in previous reporting years, with up to 10 children attending. However, given the circumstances over the past four years, we are pleased with this number. As noted in our last reports, many long-established churches in the area no longer run a Sunday School or any youth activities at all — which makes it even more important that we keep going. The ongoing support of some parents has been a great encouragement to us. We also commented last year that the children who do attend benefit from the small groups: most are engaging well with the lessons and are confident in answering questions.

Our small building also means we do not face the same financial and practical pressures that larger churches do. Despite our ongoing challenges, we have still generated some income this year, as in previous years — mostly from gifts and donations.

Our funding comes entirely from gifts provided by our supporters; we do not hold regular adult gatherings, so there are no collections.

Direct Debits for our two main utility providers (gas and electricity) are now processed through the Co-operative Bank.

There remains an urgent need for more volunteer workers. This is essential so that if attendance does rise, we can fully meet our child protection and safety requirements.
