Financial health, per FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted payments exceeded unrestricted receipts, resulting in a deficit for the year of £1,177. However, the charity held unrestricted cash funds of £58,805 at year-end, which the trustees note represents approximately two months of expenditure against a policy target of three months. The overall financial position shows a total surplus of £1,383 for the year, driven by a restricted surplus that offset the unrestricted deficit.

Going concern: doubt noted
“The Mission Planning Process continues to be difficult and has caused much uncertainty within churches which has not been helpful however, we have remained in contact locally with our proposed cluster churches of Carstairs and Carnwath. Looking forward into 2025 and beyond, we recognise that we do not know what lies ahead, there still remains great uncertainty about the future therefore we must focus more on prayer and reflection” — page 3
