Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £20,267 for the year ended 31 December 2025, primarily due to manse roof repairs and the first full year of an Assistant Minister's employment. Despite this deficit, the charity holds total net assets of £3,047,113 and maintains unrestricted reserves of £88,720, which the trustees consider sufficient to meet future obligations. The charity is heavily dependent on volunteer labor and membership contributions rather than wider public appeals.
