DIGSWELL VILLAGE CHURCH
Digswell Village Church is a gathering of Christians from different traditions, worshipping and working together in unity. We welcome everyone to our Sunday services and hold mid-week social activities which are attended by members and non-members alike. We seek to to be a Christian focus at the heart of the neighbourhood to celebrate the joy of knowing God.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred an operational deficit of £14,791 for the year, with total expenditure of £155,492 exceeding total income of £107,451. The trustees have designated £56,000 to cover deficits and £150,000 for mission projects, while unrestricted funds after designations exceed the stated policy target of £24,000. However, the document notes that trust income will fall substantially in the coming year as remaining trust capital is consumed to fund building refurbishment.
