Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £34,243 for the year ended 31 January 2023, a reversal from the previous year's surplus, driven by lower visitor numbers and inflationary pressures. Despite the deficit, the trustees consider the charity a going concern with strong cash reserves of £572,563, noting that capital expenditure on the Court Garden was funded without affecting operational continuity. The charity aims to accumulate unrestricted cash reserves of £500,000 by 2025 to mitigate seasonal income fluctuations.
