Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit for the year of £120,136, driven by significant expenditure on church repairs and maintenance funded by a previous legacy. Despite the operational deficit, the charity holds unrestricted free reserves of £216,763, which significantly exceeds its stated reserves policy target of approximately £20,000. The trustees note that while the legacy provides financial certainty for the near future, a sustainable long-term funding solution for normal expenditure needs to be developed.
