Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity spent £39,099 more than it received in the year, a deficit the trustees describe as 'obviously not sustainable'. The charity relies on fundraising, increased giving, and grants to continue its activities and maintain the building, while also facing significant long-term costs related to energy and decarbonisation.
What the accounts disclose
“The largest general fund costs for the church in the year were Parish Share of £108,900, which was paid in full and meant that we were able to support the ministry of other churches in the Oxford Diocese.”
“In the year we spent £39,099 more than we received across all our funds which obviously is not sustainable. Whilst there was some planned extra spending in 2023 we will all need to look to fundraising, increased giving and pursue significant grants if we wish to continue doing what we currently do, in addition to looking after the building.” — page 10
