Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state the charity ended the year with a profit of £102,438, largely driven by £99,000 in legacy payments, while core income from donations declined by £5,000. Free reserves are held at £40,000, which the Treasurer notes covers two to three months of operating costs, though the charity relies on generous donations to fund major building repairs. The filing highlights that without these donations, the church would only just cover regular costs.
