Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted expenditure exceeded unrestricted income, resulting in a reported deficit of £183,823 for the year, largely driven by halls refurbishment costs. However, the trustees note that excluding these one-off capital costs, the church operated with a surplus of £19,163 against a budgeted deficit. The filing indicates strong liquidity with free cash reserves of £134,678, which the trustees believe are sufficient to cover projected future deficits.
