THE COMMUNITY OF THE RESURRECTION
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the group reported a deficit of £518,000 for the year ended 31 August 2025, a significant deterioration from the previous year's surplus. The trustees acknowledge the deficit and are taking steps to return to a surplus position over the next two years through cost reduction and income generation. Despite the deficit, the group holds total funds of £13.6 million, and the trustees confirm there are no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
