FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net incoming resources deficit of £48,365.20 for the year ended 5 April 2025, driven by high expenditure on charitable activities and fabric works. Per the trustees' report, the charity remains heavily dependent on investment income from property rentals to fund its operations, noting that this income accounted for about a third of its total income. While total funds carried forward remain above the stated reserves policy target of £50,000, the Treasurer highlights significant uncertainty regarding future income and expenditure estimates.
