The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of incoming resources over expenditure for the year ended 5 April 2023, largely driven by the donation of three gospel halls valued at £2,300,000. The trustees confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, noting that increased energy costs are not imposing on its ability to operate. Free reserves at the year end were £5,301,047, with the trustees stating no specific reserves policy is needed due to minimal and infrequent expenditure.
