Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves are zero, with the General Fund showing a deficit of £5,122 for the year.

Total net assets are reported at £1,104,860, comprising significant restricted and endowment funds.
What the accounts disclose
“The reserves, as noted above are currently zero, however Buckingham Restricted Funds (currently £461,681) are available, subject to annual agreement of the PCC, to cover any deficits in the General Fund and can therefore be regarded as a working reserve.”
“The decrease in the General Fund reserve to zero means that urgent action is needed if we are to meet day-to-day expenses without using the restricted funds in the Buckingham Fund as now permitted with PCC approval.”
“The PCC is consulted on and approves the activities of the trusts, receiving advice from the Finance Committee comprising in 2025 Revd William Davie (Chairman), Sue Oldrey (Churchwarden), Catherine Ingram Smith (Churchwarden), Murray Campbell, Richard Gates (Treasurer), and Monica Snelling (Parish Administrator)”
