FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a small day-to-day surplus of £1,959 for the year, driven by increased Gift Aid and donations, though this was offset by rising utility and maintenance costs. The Balance Sheet reflects a strong financial position with unrestricted funds of £451,517, largely due to a significant inflow of £126,902 for restoration work. However, the trustees note that substantial future repair costs totaling an estimated £1,300,000 are required for the church buildings, with funding for urgent spire repairs being sought from external heritage sources to maintain the church as a going concern.

Automated summary of the FY2025 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.
