Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total receipts increased to £80,153 while payments rose to £76,290, resulting in a small surplus of £3,862 for the year. The trustees note that the financial position remains a source of concern, though the balance is currently well above the three-month reserves policy target. The charity met its full Parish Share pledge of £30,000 and utilized legacy funding to offset repair costs.
What the accounts disclose
“It is PCC policy to endeavour to maintain a balance in Unrestricted and Designated accounts equivalent to 3 months payments, to cover cash flow and emergency situations that may arise. The balances available are presently well above this requirement.”
“Unfortunately, at the start of 2025 there was a data breach via Access Personal Checking Services (APCS), a third-party DBS check provider, which affected a few of our members, (along with others in the Church of England and other organisations).”
