Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity made a profit of £38,327, but relies on voluntary donations to avoid a loss, with unrestricted reserves of £449,858. The trustees report a weak liquidity position, noting that liquid assets of £12,918 represent only 1.26% of annual expenditure, which inhibits spending on improvements. However, the charity holds significant capital assets, with the school site value significantly exceeding the mortgage liability.
