Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended 2025 with a General Fund surplus of £24,746, restoring unrestricted reserves to £50,648. This level of reserves is equivalent to twenty-two weeks of expenditure, which exceeds the charity's stated prudent policy target of thirteen weeks. The surplus was largely attributed to reduced ministry costs following the departure of one paid minister, though the trustees noted this has placed greater strain on the remaining staff.
