THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WALTON-ON-THAMES
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the unrestricted general fund ended the year with a deficit of £22,000, a reversal from the previous year's surplus, driven by high expenditure on church hall repairs and curate house refurbishments. Total reserves across all funds decreased to £495,491 from £548,489, though the unrestricted fund balance remains above the stated policy target of three months' unrestricted payments. The charity reports adequate resources for going concern purposes but notes that underlying giving has decreased, creating continued dependence on hall rental income.
