ABBEY UNITED REFORMED CHURCH ROMSEY CHARITY
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total funds decreased by £10,969 to £120,219 at the end of the year, driven by a deficit in the General Fund which has been running deficits for a number of years. Reserves policy aims for one year's running costs, but the current level is justified by the obligation to maintain old buildings, although the document notes reserves have been used for repairs and maintenance. The charity received significant grants and legacies, but outgoings increased mainly due to property repair costs.
