Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity faced a shortfall in income, leading to a reliance on reserves that left no contingency for the parish share payment to the Diocese. The trustees describe this position as unsustainable and express concern about future funding, noting they will need to seek further support grants from the Diocese. Despite these challenges, the financial statements were prepared on a going-concern basis.
