Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure deficit of £24,405 for the year, which the trustees describe as disappointing and unsustainable. To cover this deficit, £35,000 was transferred from investment reserves, leaving unrestricted reserves at £138,826. The trustees express confidence that future deficits will decrease due to a 'Journey of Generosity' campaign and growing congregation numbers.
