Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a deficit of £4,917, resulting in a net decrease in funds. However, the trustees report that unrestricted cash funds of £17,722 remain, which they state satisfies their reserves policy of holding at least 50% of the previous year's expenditure. The trustees note that while the financial position is partially threatened by the deficit, it is within limits for survival given the bank balance, though they identify a lack of sufficient volunteers as a potential obstacle to continuation.
What the accounts disclose
“Club policy is to hold a reserve equal to at least 50% of the previous year’s expenditure. This ensures that if grants are difficult to obtain, the Club should not fail financially in the short term.”
“Apart from financial considerations, the main obstacle to continuation would be the lack of sufficient volunteers to safely manage regular opening for the club membership. At present, this is not an immediate worry, though volunteers can be difficult to recruit.”
“The charity rents its premises from the Wesley Road United Church. The Church Minister and 1 other representative are co-opted onto our Management Committee in an advisory capacity.” — page 10
