What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: approximately a year of on-going expenditure (held: £2.5m)
“The Trustees consider that, given the nature of the charity's work, the level of free reserves should be sufficient to cover approximately a year of on-going expenditure and to provide for contingencies and unevenness in future income.” — page 21
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“We draw your attention to page 33 to the accounts which explains that the trustees intend that the charity’s operations should cease and that a request be made that the charity should be removed from the Central Register of Charities. Therefore, the trustees do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.” — page 27
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The charity's Trustees are all members of the Congregation and consequently their living and personal expenses, all of which are consistent with the amounts paid in respect to other members of the Congregation, are borne by the charity. No trustee received any remuneration or reimbursement of expenses in connection with their duties as Trustees (2024 – none). As members of the Congregation, none of the Trustees have resources of their own as all earnings, pensions and other income have been donated to the charity under a Gift Aid compliant Deed of Covenant. During the year, the total amount donated by the Trustees to the charity was £110,009 (2024 – £108,581).
