Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity produced a standalone net surplus of £42,338 for the year, driven by increased regular giving and lower staff costs due to vacancies. Total consolidated net assets reduced slightly to £1.30 million, with unrestricted cash reserves increasing materially to £120,817 following the closure of the pre-school. The trustees note that the 2025 Parish Share allocation remains well beyond the charity's reach based on the prevailing income and expenses profile.
