Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £249k for the year, primarily due to higher expenditure on restricted funds and a decline in parish share collection rates to 83.3%. While unrestricted net current assets of £815k are substantially below the stated reserves policy target of £1,292k, the trustees remain confident in the charity's ability to continue as a going concern based on approved budgets and cash flow forecasts.
