Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net income of £20,622 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with unrestricted reserves totaling £638,050. However, the trustees note that the charity has negative free reserves of £204,871, largely due to the value of fixed assets, though this would be positive if associated mortgages were excluded. The charity remains dependent on tithes and offerings for its income and holds significant reserves in fixed assets which contribute to annual depreciation charges.
