Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £2,700 for the year, reversing a surplus in the prior period. However, unrestricted funds increased to £132,900, and the trustees confirm that cash balances exceeded their policy target of three months' expenditure, indicating adequate liquidity despite the operational loss.
What the accounts disclose
“It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to around £43,000 for St Mark’s Church and £6,000 for St Martin’s Church, total £49,000.” — page 3
“The church’s operations rely on a combination of grants and the members of the congregation continuing to give money and time to support the church’s staffing and activities. Should this funding cease, the church would be unable to continue to support all its current activities and staffing levels.” — page 3
“Donations from related parties (PCC members and close family members) were £55,700 (2023: £29,600).” — page 11
“The PCC declared 1 Serious Incident to the Charity Commission in 2024, in relation to safeguarding.” — page 4
