Financial health, per its FY2021 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves of £55,270 are significantly below the stated policy target of £91,506, driven by a failure to pay the full Parish Share to the Diocese, resulting in an unpaid debt of £103,331. The charity reports that income from lettings and cafes remains more than 75% lower than pre-pandemic levels, and congregational giving is approximately 10% lower than in 2019. While the charity achieved a small surplus of £9,872 for the year, the trustees describe the financial situation as serious and note that restoring free reserves is a long-term goal.
