Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the parish is running at a £10,000 annual deficit and faces considerable financial pressure due to rising costs and reduced donations. The trustees note a heavy dependence on large, one-off gifts, warning that the cessation of such donations would create a significant problem for the church's sustainability.
What the accounts disclose
“The various methods of parishioners and visitors giving to our church, coupled with Gift Aid tax refunds resulted in £14,811 (£16,633 in 2023) being received.”
“Despite the generosity of our regular givers, the finances of the parish are still under considerable pressure. The rise in the cost of living has impacted the Church’s regular bills and the ability of our congregation members to make donations. We remain very dependent on the large and one-off donations. Should those cease we would have a big problem.”
