What the accounts disclose
“2025 will once again be a challenging year financially. Both Energy Contracts have now been renewed on less favourable rates and the Church administrator’s role is once again a paid position. My latest forecast for 2025 is that we are likely to achieve a deficit somewhere in the region of £15K.” — page 2
