Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity experienced an annual deficit and has very low free unrestricted reserves, with free cash expected to run out during the summer months. The trustees have adopted a flexible reserves policy rather than a fixed target, justifying this by noting that income is mainly from membership and unlikely to drop suddenly. Despite the underlying financial pressure, the charity continues to operate its ministries and building projects.
What the accounts disclose
“The PCC does not currently maintain a formal or fixed level of reserves. This approach is justified on the basis that the charity operates prudently and does not commit to expenditure that it would be unable to honour.” — page 34
