Significant events
- “2025 saw the retirement of the Right Revd Martin Seeley as Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in February, and the appointment later in the year of the Right Reverend Dr Joanne Grenfell. Archdeacon Samantha Brazier-Gibbs was appointed as Archdeacon of Ipswich in June 2025.”
- “Net cash outflow of £4,353k (2023: outflow of £1,403k) arises principally from the movement of short-term investments to long term investments to fixed and the decrease in debtors and increase in creditors at 31st December 2024. These factors are compounded by a loss a result of a shortfall in parish share and a reduction in the value of investments.”
