Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that a modest surplus was achieved for the year, which enabled the church to partially restore its reserve position. The trustees consider it prudent to retain a surplus sufficient to meet three months of outgoings, a level that was maintained throughout 2024. The trustees confirmed there are no funds or subsidiary undertakings materially in deficit and no uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
