Financial health, per its FY2022 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall surplus of £860,762 for the year ended 31 December 2022, driven by significant one-off receipts from closed churches and loan write-offs which offset an operating deficit. The trustees maintain free reserves of £1,318,385, which they note represent 13.9 months of expenditure, sitting at the top of their stated policy target band of 8 to 12 months. The charity remains reliant on capital receipts to absorb regular operating deficits, though the trustees aim to reduce this reliance through investment income generation.
