FY2024

Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted fund income and expenditure were both £205,000 in 2024, resulting in a net decrease in funds. The financial review notes that regular giving has fallen from £145,000 in 2020 to £93,000 in 2024, creating a need for higher income to cover running costs and limit the depletion of reserves.

Automated summary of the FY2024 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: at least £75,000 (held: £1.4m)

“The PCC has expressed the view that at least £75,000 should be retained in the general reserve.” — page 11

Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Related-party transaction: The document identifies Robert Kipling (PCC member/Finance Chair) and his wife Wei Hei Kipling (PCC Secretary) as related parties involved in governance, though no specific transaction amount is listed for them other than general staff costs which are not explicitly linked to them as payments. However, the prompt asks for disclosed related-party transactions. The text explicitly mentions the governance issue but does not list a specific monetary transaction between the charity and the Kiplings other than implying Wei Hei is Secretary (volunteer/unpaid per 'no payments to PCC members other than reimbursed expenses'). The 'Lay Staff salaries' line item is £18,036. The text says 'The church administrator employed by the church is paid from the Parish finances.' It does not explicitly state the administrator is a related party. Therefore, no specific related party *transaction* with a disclosed amount is explicitly stated in the financial notes beyond the general staff costs. I will return an empty array as no specific related party *transaction* (who, what, amount) is explicitly detailed in the notes as a related party deal, only the governance conflict.

“There were no payments to PCC members other than for reimbursed expenses.” — page 21

Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Governance: The document states: 'As Robert Kipling’s wife Wei Hei Kipling is PCC Secretary, it is not good governance for Robert Kipling to be PCC Treasurer or even a PCC member.' This is an explicit statement of a governance failure/issue within the text.

“As Robert Kipling’s wife Wei Hei Kipling is PCC Secretary, it is not good governance for Robert Kipling to be PCC Treasurer or even a PCC member.”

Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
