Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that general income has continued to decline and the financial position is not as healthy as desired. However, the trustees confirm there are sufficient funds to pay creditors, and total funds increased from £77,596.79 to £12,275.09 (note: the summary table shows a decrease in total assets from 2024 to 2025, specifically Cash at bank decreased from £77,499.76 to £12,275.09, while cash in hand increased slightly). The church continues to operate with a full-time worker and maintains its community role. Per the trustees' report, the accounts are not as healthy as one would wish due to declining income, but liquidity remains sufficient to meet liabilities.
