What the accounts disclose
Largest income source: none
“The areas of greatest expenditure are the parish share, which increased by over £3000, insurance for both buildings, and the cost of gas and electricity.” — page 7
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Reserves policy: at least six months unrestricted payments (held: £55k)
“It is the policy of the PCC to keep a considerable sum in the unrestricted account as a cash balance to offset the many and varied needs of the two church buildings. This is usually at least six months unrestricted payments” — page 8

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“The parish continues to find itself in the fortunate position of having sufficient funds for all foreseeable events. However the excess in expenditure over income on the General Account is of some concern. Whilst this is a relatively small proportion of overall income, we cannot sustain this indefinitely.” — page 8
Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
