Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported an operational deficit of £25,217 for the year ended 31 December 2024, primarily due to decreased offerings following the union of two congregations and the demission of its Minister. However, the trustees note that investment gains of £37,962 resulted in a net increase in total funds of £12,745, and they view the financial risks as containable given their significant reserves. The trustees explicitly state that their reserves meet the objectives set for maintaining the building and supporting wider work, despite the operational shortfall.
