Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves declined from £124,000 to £120,000, continuing a trend of decline from £149,000 in 2022, largely due to a £17,400 contribution to the St James’ lighting project. While the parish reported an in-year surplus on unrestricted funds of £15,800, overall expenditure exceeded income when restricted resources were included, prompting the trustees to highlight the need to stem the decline in reserves to remain viable.
