Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity is currently supported by healthy reserves, but there is a gap between expenditure and income that cannot continue indefinitely. The PCC has committed to practical steps to strengthen the financial life of the parish, including optimizing building usage and reviewing rental costs. The annual accounts for the year were not presented with the report due to recommended improvements and pending clarification with the Charity Commission.
What the accounts disclose
“We have also adopted a new reserves policy going forward. Our aim is to maintain a level of reserves which would cover a minimum of 3 months of staff and operational costs for both St Andrews Church and St Andrews Church Centre. Reserves will also be held to cover redundancy requirements for all staff. At current levels, this suggests holding a reserve of £7000.” — page 17
