What the accounts disclose

Largest income source: parishioners' donations

“As in previous years, the largest single element of our income came from parishioners’ donations, much of which was gift aided.” — page 3

Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Reserves policy: three months' expenditure on normal running costs as well as any forecast expenditure on committed capital projects (held: £39k)

“The Reserves Policy is that the church should maintain sufficient net free reserves, that is neither restricted nor designated funds, to cover at least 3 months’ expenditure on normal running costs as well as any forecast expenditure on committed capital projects.” — page 4

Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“It would be prudent not to expect to receive legacies or one-off donations in 2025 equivalent to those received in 2024. Together with the cost of the work at St Peter’s, this raises the potential of a small deficit in 2025, which the PCC will be working to find ways to reverse.” — page 4

Per its FY2024 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
