Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £229,056, which the Chairman notes is below the Charity Commission's recommended target of six months' operational costs due to a shortfall in council grants. The filing reports a net deficit for the year of £20,324 and highlights that the charity's building requires refurbishment, specifically a leaky roof and central gutter, which current funds do not allow to be rectified. Despite these pressures, the independent examiner confirmed that no material matters came to their attention regarding the accounts.
