Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's total funds increased by £243,144, primarily due to a significant legacy of £269,283, whereas operational activities alone resulted in a deficit of £26,139. The trustees note that without this legacy, the church would have struggled to continue as a going concern, citing high parish share allocations and increased energy prices as drivers of ongoing operational deficits. Free unrestricted reserves stood at £289,102, which is well above the stated policy target of two months' general fund expenditure.
