THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, KENTON
Promoting in the Ecclesiastical Parish the whole mission of the church
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of income over expenditure for the second consecutive year, with total unrestricted reserves (General Fund) standing at £65,421. The trustees note that while meeting the Diocesan target for the Common Fund would have resulted in a deficit, careful budget monitoring and energy negotiations allowed the parish to maintain financial stability. The reserves policy requires maintaining a balance equivalent to a minimum of three months' expenditure, a target which the current unrestricted reserves appear to exceed given the annual expenditure of approximately £144,416.
What the accounts disclose
