Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased from £197,248 to £102,269 during the year, with the trustees noting that financial projections indicate a likely need to use reserves to meet future Circuit Assessments due to declining offertory income. Despite this downward trend, the trustees consider the level of free reserves not to be excessive given designated funds for building improvements and ongoing obligations.
