The trustees report that free reserves of £123k are adequate to cover over a year’s annual expenditure, significantly exceeding the stated policy target of £21k. However, the charity carries an outstanding loan of £117k from the Diocese with no agreed repayment timetable, and notes that rising energy bills and boiler issues may negatively impact finances in 2025.
