Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the parish generated a healthy surplus on unrestricted funds for the year, boosted by significant legacies and caution in paying parish share. However, the trustees note that the parish has run a structural financial deficit for a number of years and that the current reserves position relies on paying no parish share, which is described as an unsustainable position. The charity holds free reserves of £187,449, which exceeds its stated policy target of £21,000.
