- We have a loss of £13,000 for the second year running.
- We are continuing to struggle financially since we lost the income from the nursery. We are only making quarter of the previous income for the hall. Since the beginning of 2026 this has been rising as we get more user. This is thanks to Flower & Neil.
- There has been an increase in the Parish Share of which we are paying 50%.
- Gift aid gone up.
Eugene thanked Carol for all her hard work and thanked the congregation for their response to stewardship giving. We have kept the diocese informed about our financial position and they are ok with what we are doing.
Vicky Cameron proposed we accept the audited accounts for the year ending 31/12/2025 and Helen Giles seconded. **All agreed** .
