The ITUStees work io ensure that th¢ costs of running the Charity gre commensurate with the fid5 available and will take any actions necessary 10 address any shortfal]s. The buildings available to the ¢harity have b¢¢n ass¢ssed and categorized ihrough the PrCSbery Mission Plan process and appropriate actions put in pla¢¢ to dis¢harg¢ our obligations. This has been undertaken wi(h external suppon where necessary.

Ai the year end ihe church held unrestricted funds of £229,561 12023.. £132,703), which represenis around 13 months unrestricied expenditure. however the Trustees are also conscious that Ihe Church buildings are very old and un¢xrrtied fabri¢ expenditure ¢an arise at short notice. therefore, they feel that the higher level of reSe1V Can be justified.
