THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF THORNBURY
Financial health, per its FY2022 accounts
The accounts state that total funds decreased from £1,713,897 to £1,593,519 due to investment losses and operational deficits, though the General Fund retained an operating balance of £67,631. The trustees note that held funds are insufficient to cover all desired building maintenance and that regular giving has declined, which is described as a matter requiring urgent address. Despite rising utility costs and a deficit in the Church Hall operations, the charity reports no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
