Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the Team Parish operated in a significant deficit of £132,439 in 2024, which was only prevented from causing insolvency by the receipt of substantial legacies totaling £352,952. The trustees note that without these legacies, the parish would have exhausted its funds in 2025, indicating a heavy dependency on one-off donations to cover ongoing operational overspending. While cost-reduction measures and new utility contracts have been implemented, the underlying trend of expenditure exceeding core income remains a serious concern for future sustainability.
What the accounts disclose
“If, however, we had not had those legacies, the excess of expenditure over income would have been in the region of £109,000. If we had continued on this trajectory, we would have run out of funds in 2025.”
“This had been part of a Serious Instant Report to the Charity Commission and the situation surrounding invoicing for events and hall hire from 2023 to 2025 was remedied as soon as this omission was discovered in the summer of 2025.”
“I have informed the Charity Commission and they are aware of our situation and that we are working towards resolving it as soon as possible.” — page 14
