Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a net expenditure of £29,795 for the year, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted funds from £1,951,705 to £1,921,910. The Trustees attribute this drawdown on reserves to diminished giving following a reduction in membership and potential future costs for purchasing a new manse for a replacement minister. Despite these challenges, the accounts state the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
