Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -4.2% | -9.7% | |
| Net margin | 2.3% | -1.6% | |

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 0.6% | 0.9% | |
| Current ratio | 7.14x | 7.23x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- HaysMac LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Our new visual brand opened 2024 conveying the importance of our places and echoing the Easter story which transforms all of life.”
- “The DBF launched Flourish where church and school teams work in partnership to build a worshipping community.”
- “National funding secured for a Decarbonisation Officer and free energy audits were taken up in a first cohort of churches.”
- “A new Parish Share approach was launched with full transparency about the costs of being church.”
- “Ended the year with an operational deficit, smaller than recent years, offset by profit on sale of assets and investment returns.”
- “Total funds increased by £0.7m to £131.3m, primarily driven by strong investment performance and realised gain on sales of property.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
