Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that while the parish achieved a small surplus of £970.49 for 2025, the overall financial position remains a concern with another deficit forecast for 2026. The PCC has stopped paying the Parish Share to fund necessary building repairs, including a £10,300 decoration project at Holy Trinity and ongoing window replacement estimates for St Cuthberts. The trustees highlight that finances are difficult and are urging increased giving to meet future obligations.
