Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net decrease in funds of £271,566 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven largely by the final stages of transitioning satellite churches to independence and capital expenditure. Per the trustees' report, general unrestricted reserves are at a low level, with freely available unrestricted reserves showing a deficit of £79,719 for the group. Despite these short-term pressures, the trustees remain confident in the charity's ability to continue as a going concern based on a medium to long-term plan to operate with adequate financial margin.
