Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net income of £4,985 for the year, driven by a surplus on ordinary activities of £10,580 offset by investment losses.

What the accounts disclose
“The main sources of income were fees for weddings and similar ceremonies which comprised 52% of total income” — page 6
“At their meeting on 18 January 2024, the Trustees considered and adopted a policy on reserves, concluding that FUC has an appropriate level of financial reserves in relation to its potential liabilities should major work be required on the Town Hall or its other real assets, and to be able to continue its normal activity should income relating to weddings once again be depressed.” — page 6
