Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the group achieved an operating surplus of £1,177.51 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by stricter expense controls and improved subscription collection. The group's financial position was significantly strengthened by a legacy received from a former member, which is intended to support hall renewal and band equipment. The trustees maintain a reserve policy of keeping a cash balance equal to annual expenses, with any surplus held in interest-bearing accounts.
