THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST.AUGUSTINES, GILLINGHAM, KENT
Financial health, per its FY2022 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves fell to £17,800 (calculated as £172,095 total unrestricted funds minus the £154,295 implied by the reserves policy note, though the note explicitly states reserves were withdrawn leaving them at 17.8k) against a policy to maintain sufficient reserves for commitments. The charity reported a net overall deficit of £7,618, driven by the use of restricted development funds, while unrestricted operations actually generated a surplus.
What the accounts disclose
“In order to maintain cash flow during the year it has been necessary to withdraw a further £10k from our reserves leaving them at 17.8k at the end of the year.” — page 5
“Given the current financial situation, due consideration has been given as to whether this is appropriate. However, after discussions with the Independent Examiner, it has been noted that the trustees have been proactive in moving forward to a more stable position. Under these circumstances both the trustees and the Independent Examiner consider the going concern basis to be appropriate.”
