FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the parish ended the year with a small deficit of just over £4,000, a reduction from previous years, though this was achieved by reducing the parish share contribution below the cost of clergy. The trustees note that future years are expected to be more challenging due to anticipated reductions in regular giving and significant building repair needs, such as a roof repair estimated at £80,000-£100,000 which the parish currently lacks resources to fund.

What the accounts disclose

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The finances of the parish continue to be challenging. We had a better year financially in 2025, reducing our annual deficit to £4,000, which is encouraging. However this has only been possible by reducing our contribution to parish share below the cost of our clergy – meaning we are effectively being subsidised by the Diocese. In 2026 we expect to see some further challenges to our income from planned giving.” — page 5
