Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

Per the trustees' report, unrestricted liquid resources are limited, with free reserves of £9,272 falling below the stated policy target of approximately two months' operational expenditure.

What the accounts disclose
“The PCC considers that, given the nature of the church’s work, free reserves should be equivalent to approximately 2 months of operational expenditure (i.e. building running costs, but excluding Common Fund payments, mission giving and expenditure on special discretionary projects), plus committed future expenditure on other projects, where funds permit.” — page 9
“During the year, Christopher Myhill, a member of the PCC, received £11,067 for his services as Director of Music (2024: £5,100). These payments were for his musical services and not for his duties as a member of the PCC.” — page 20
“Members of the PCC gave a total of £7,740 (2024: £11,870) in unrestricted offerings and donations during the year.” — page 20
