Financial health, per its FY2022 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's unrestricted reserves decreased to £216,004, falling below the trustees' stated policy target of 3-4 months of operational expenditure (approximately £150,000-£200,000 based on the 2022 budget). The trustees note that income reduced compared to the previous year due to lower congregation numbers and the cost of living impact, and they expect a deficit in 2023, though they maintain that liquidating significant assets remains extremely unlikely.
