Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £67,293 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total incoming resources of £262,481 against total expenditure of £196,763. The trustees note that it is not appropriate for the Trust to hold reserves because the Council commits to meeting any net expenditure, and consequently, the policy on reserves indicates no reserves are held. The financial position is supported by unrestricted funds of £2,308,502, primarily representing the notional value of freehold land and buildings.
