STAMFORD METHODIST CHURCH
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state a year-end surplus of £1,355, driven by increased lettings income and reduced costs, contrasting with a prior year surplus of £21,783 which included significant legacy and gift day income. The trustees note a forecast budget deficit of around £20,000 for the upcoming year but highlight that a new utilities contract is expected to reduce costs by nearly 20%. The charity faces operational risks regarding banking arrangements, as its current provider is scheduled to close in January 2026.
