Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total incoming resources for 2025 were £370,203 compared to £292,745 in 2024, while expenditure rose to £355,204 from £287,150. The Treasurer's report and meeting minutes identify a deficit of £15,936 in the general fund for the year, attributing the increased expenditure primarily to roof repairs. The filing notes that the charity is in a stronger position than many similar parish churches but acknowledges the difficult financial climate and the need to increase regular giving and fundraising.
