Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity recorded a net deficit of £32,602 for the year, driven by a £41,213 deficit in designated funds used for planned building improvements and mission activities. While the general fund cash balance of £24,543 is slightly above the policy threshold, the adjusted balance of £19,988 falls below the desired £24,000 target, though the PCC has policy in place to redesignate building funds if necessary. Total unrestricted reserves (general fund cash) are £24,543, which is below the stated policy target of £24,000 when adjusted for timing differences, but the charity holds significant endowment investments valued at £601,471.
