Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated without a minister for the full year following a retirement in April 2024, relying on a Pastoral Friend and shared ministry within a pastorate. The charity reported a net incoming resource deficit of £15,434 for the year, largely driven by significant one-off expenditures including roof repairs and funds passed on to a local charity. Unrestricted reserves decreased from £32,256 to £16,822, and the Treasurer noted that the charity has been heavily reliant on drawdowns from legacy investments which may not be sustainable long-term.
