What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: three months of unrestricted expenditure (held: £42k)
The PCC operates within an approved Reserves Policy, which essentially means we need to maintain a minimum General Fund reserve equivalent to 3 months’ operating expenses. — page 15
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Governance: The document notes a current vacancy for Churchwarden at Greens Norton and a struggle to recruit a treasurer, but these are operational challenges rather than serious governance failures or regulator engagements explicitly stated as such.
This means we currently have no Churchwarden, which should be a cause for concern among Electoral Roll Members.
