Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the general fund closed with a surplus of £1,323 for the year, with monetary assets at year-end standing at £119,364. However, the Treasurer's report notes that the 2026 budget is set as a deficit of £5,500, driven by increased costs for two full-time priests and upcoming maintenance, alongside regular giving remaining below pre-pandemic levels.
What the accounts disclose
“Included in that is a provision of £6,500 in respect of the HMRC Gift Aid claim for 2024/25, which had not concluded by the end of the year, but which was received in January 2026. Both Standing Orders and Parish Giving Scheme channels were more than budgeted”
“The budget for 2026 has been set and agreed by the PCC. It is a deficit budget of £5,500. This is partly due to 2026 being the first full year we are committed to paying our share of 2 full time stipendiary priests and 2026 being the year our Quinquennial inspection is due which is likely to cost c.£2k . Regular giving is still down on pre-Covid levels, and I would ask those members, contributing by way of standing orders and other planned giving, to consider an increase in their giving in 2026 in order to assist with the ever-increasing costs of maintaining our church.” — page 17
