Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure (deficit) of £141,174 for the year ended 31 March 2025, compared to a deficit of £234,583 in the previous year. Per the trustees' report, this reduction in deficit was driven by higher income from grants and subsidiary donations, alongside reductions in other cost areas, although the Trust notes that a trend of higher expenditure is likely to continue due to maintenance projects.
