Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity was prepared on a basis other than going concern because the unincorporated charity's activities are ceasing as assets and liabilities transfer to a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the new charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
What the accounts disclose
“Offerings and donations were above budget for the first time in many years, and were supplemented by greater than anticipated interest payments from bank deposits. Renting out of the Manse ended later than budgeted, leading to higher-than-expected income.” — page 6
“As a consequence, the continuing activities of the unincorporated charity will cease from the date of transfer although the activities of the charity are expected to continue under the new charitable incorporated organisation. The unincorporated charity is therefore no longer considered to be a going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern.” — page 15
“In addition, two Trustees (2024: thirteen) including ministers received expenses totalling £1,629 (2024: £98) in respect of travel, training and books.” — page 26
“The Trustees gave unrestricted donations totalling £43,356 (2024: £46,250) to the charity.” — page 26
