AYLESBURY DEANERY TRUST
The charity's activities include disbursing funds to support selected worthy projects identified by Anglican parish churches within the Aylesbury Deanery area and enabling the religious and charitable outreach of those churches by co-ordinating their mission planning and associated education.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £12,338 for the year ended 31 December 2024, primarily due to the non-receipt of expected parish share rebates from the Diocese. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves decreased to £45,888, which the trustees deem sufficient to meet working capital requirements for 2025, despite the loss of their primary income source. The charity's future capacity depends on the continued receipt of parish share rebates and the timely payment of parish share by parishes.
