The administration of the ecclesiastical parish of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the parish reported an operating deficit of £79,841 for the year, driven by rising inflation and increased costs, though this was partially offset by unrealised investment gains. Despite the operational loss, the parish holds substantial unrestricted reserves of £958,193, which the trustees confirm are sufficient to continue operating without material uncertainty.
