Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the unrestricted fund ended the year with a £3,149 surplus, which included a one-off donation of £10,142; excluding this, the underlying position shows a £6,993 deficit. To address this pattern of deficits, the PCC has limited next year's Parish Share to £23,000 to restore the fund to a break-even point and safeguard reserves. The trustees deem the current level of reserves adequate to support activities and cover known risks.
