Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted expenditure exceeded unrestricted income, resulting in a technical deficit for the year. The Treasurer's report notes that the General Reserve has been reduced to a level sufficient for only three weeks of expenditure, and future trends suggest further strain on finances due to rising costs and upcoming building repairs.
Automated summary of the FY2025 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.
What the accounts disclose
Fundraising cost ratio: 20.2% of fundraised income, as disclosed
“Activities for generating funds (i.e. ‘fundraising’) rose by £460 (3.8%) to £12681. After allowing for costs of £2559, net fundraising income broke the £10000 level for the second year running” — page 11
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £7k; policy: two/three months’ normal expenditure, excluding Parish Share)
“General Reserve reduced to £7324, sufficient for just three weeks’ general expenditure.” — page 10
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“If trends seen in 2025 were to continue into 2026 the deficit on the General account would probably double to about £5000. As the ‘Represented by’ section of the SOFA shows, there is now insufficient surplus on the General Reserve to cover this and still stay within PCC policy. Additional income will therefore be needed just to stand still.” — page 14
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
