What the accounts disclose
Largest income source: none
“The "bottom line" for the Parish in the year 2024 was a surplus of £48k (2023: deficit £41k). This was an excellent outcome, and considerably better than the £90k loss set as the budget for 2024. Considerable efforts at fundraising contributed to the outcome, particularly at St Helen’s and St Michael’s Churches. It is pleasing to see that the voluntary income received was significantly more than the budget we set for the year.”
