Today, we are pleased to share our Annual Report for the last financial year 2021/22. We look back at the last year and highlight some of our key achievements, things that have changed here at ACAT, and our plans for the future.
As well as being an important governance document, and sharing the financial position of the charity, this Annual Report is also an opportunity to find out more about all that has been going on at ACAT.
“The past few years have been a rollercoaster for all of us, and for our churches. We have had to adapt, learn, and get creative in order to worship together. Many of us have faced financial difficulties, losing income from collections and events. It hasn’t been an easy time to be a church treasurer. Here at ACAT, our mission continues to be to support church treasurers and accountants across the country as they serve their churches in this way. After a year of change when the pandemic hit, we are very thankful to say that this year has been a year of stability for us as a charity.”
During this year of stability, we continued sharing our informative training courses via Zoom, running 45 sessions across 23 courses. We also introduced two new courses, which were very well received by those who attended.
We were delighted to welcome the Diocese of Portsmouth as a new block member, as well as continuing to support all of our members across the UK. Find out if your church is part of a block membership here.
We have also been dedicated to building new and developing existing relationships such as our partnership with CAF Bank.
Social purpose lies at the heart of both CAF Bank and ACAT. Our organisations facilitate, support and promote positive change. For ACAT members, this is through their ministry and support for the wider community. Similarly, CAF Bank supports the work of its parent charity, the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), to accelerate progress in society towards a fair and sustainable future for all.
