Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £854,562 as of 31 December 2024, a decrease from the previous year's £866,771. The trustees believe these reserves are sufficient for current purposes, noting that substantial bequests received between 2019 and 2021 were intended to ensure the long-term survival of St Mary’s Harefield Church. The charity reported a net outgoing on the unrestricted fund of £12,209 for the year, primarily due to donations and governance costs exceeding interest income.
