Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income increased by 24% to £32,623, driven largely by a new monthly grant from the Central Hall Trust. Expenditure rose significantly to £28,851 due to the introduction of a stipendiary package for the Pastor, yet unrestricted reserves remain at £90,522, which is above the trustees' policy target of three months' core operating expenditure.
