The accounts state that day-to-day income did not cover day-to-day expenditure in 2025, requiring the use of other reserves to subsidize running costs. The charity holds significant unrestricted reserves of £43,630, which the trustees report have increased from the previous year, and the PCC considers itself reasonably placed to address its financial position.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £44k; policy: three months of unrestricted expenditure)
“The PCC is reasonably placed to address its financial position and manage budgets, but in 2025, it was only possible to work within our agreed working funds by drawing on other reserves. While there are large capital reserves for projects that are yet to be designed and delivered, day-to-day income is not covering day-to-day expenditure such as the Parish Share, Insurance, utilities, maintenance etc.”
