Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net increase in funds of £53,934.91 for the year ended 31 December 2023, driven by property revaluations and investment gains, despite a decrease in planned giving and collections. The trustees note that parish finances continue to cause concern and that the charity withheld the balance of its Parish Share payment due to its 'very poor operational state'.

What the accounts disclose

Governance: The document states the Vicar went on sick leave and resigned, and an Episcopal Visitation was conducted with delayed findings, but these are operational/ministerial issues, not explicitly stated governance failures or regulator engagements for the PCC itself.
“The Bishop received the Commissaries Report in April and against the normal practice refused to share the findings with the Parish and the closing service was delayed due to the absence of the Vicar and in fact was not held during the year.” — page 4
