Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the church reported a deficit of approximately £15k for the year ended 31 August 2025, resulting in a reduction of total funds to £453k. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm the church remains in a financially stable position with unrestricted reserves of £451k, which exceed the stated policy target of six months' operating costs. The trustees consider the current level of reserves to be prudent and appropriate for maintaining the older church estate.
