What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: at least 6 weeks of operating expenses (held: £60k)
“It is our policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds of at least 6 weeks of operating expenses. This equates to £6,755 based on 2025 expenditure.” — page 7
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The document states the church is part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells and pays a Diocesan Parish Share. It also lists mission partners. However, specific amounts paid to related parties (like the Diocese) are not explicitly linked to a 'related party' transaction label in the notes, though the Parish Share is a major expense. The prompt asks for disclosed related-party transactions. The Parish Share is paid to the Diocese, which is a related body in the Church of England structure, but the text does not explicitly label it as a 'related party transaction' in the accounting notes section typically required for such flags. However, 'Clergy expenses' are paid to the Incumbent/Curate who are trustees. Let's look for explicit statements. There are no explicit 'related party' notes. I will leave this empty as per strict rule 1.
“The largest expense is the Diocesan Parish Share of £44,029. The Parish Share is used in part by the Diocese to meet salary and related costs of clergy.” — page 7
