FY2024

Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ran a budget deficit in 2024, with unrestricted funds showing a deficit of £19,887 compared to a surplus in the previous year. This was driven by a decline in giving and donations, alongside increased maintenance and utility costs, although income from church activities and crypt rentals provided some offset. Total cash deposits fell to £76,017, but the PCC notes that adjusted free reserves remain above their stated policy figure for minimum cash balances.
