FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves of £98,941 exceed the PCC's stated policy target of £50,000, indicating a comfortable buffer against emergency situations. However, the charity reported an overall deficit of £7,971 for the year, driven by increased expenditure on the Diocesan Parish Share and maintenance costs for St John's, which exceeded income. The trustees note that 2026 will be another challenging year due to rising costs and necessary building repairs.
