Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the parish achieved a significant surplus of £83,934 in 2023, largely driven by a legacy of nearly £123,000 and recovery grants, whereas it would have faced a deficit approaching £39,000 without this support. The trustees note that utility prices doubled in 2023 and express doubt about reversing the long-term trend of financial difficulties, indicating a need for improved cost management and income generation to ensure future sustainability. Reserves (unrestricted funds) increased to £118,469 by year-end, providing a buffer, though the filing admits to serious past control failures and a history of losing money.
