Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the parish operated in interregnum for the full year, resulting in lower fundraising activity and a small consolidated surplus of £857. While some local churches ran deficits due to bank account issues and repair costs, these were offset by surpluses elsewhere and lower central costs. The parish maintains reserves to cover unforeseen repairs and emergency administration.
