- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties which would cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees continue to monitor the effects of inflation, interest rates and a more difficult property market and do not consider them to call Going Concern into question. In particular, Trustees note that the Company's significant investment funds are managed on a 'total returns' basis, which provides a predictable income stream, and that the Company does not depend on property disposals to cover its core staff and operating costs.”
Significant events
- “These resolutions-to-close were passed in 2024: 23 January 2024: St. Paul's Liss United Reformed Church (building only); 20 February 2024: Wimborne United Reformed Church (by Synod resolution); 14 July 2024: Emsworth United Reformed Church (building only); 17 September 2024: Fordingbridge United Reformed Church.”

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
