Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's total fund value decreased significantly to £67,999.23 due to a substantial grant of £55,000 made to St Bartholomew’s Church for ceiling repairs. The trustees note that this grant severely restricts the longevity of the fund and its ability to offer future grants. However, the remaining funds achieved a 4% net investment return, and the PCC has agreed to make annual donations to partially replenish the assets.
