Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held £23,425.54 in unrestricted reserves at year-end 2024, which the trustees designate for unforeseen building maintenance or equipment replacement. The trustees report significant budget cuts are required due to increased utility and cleaning costs, and a major booking fell through, requiring difficult decisions to maintain financial stability. Despite these challenges, the charity remains self-financing through hall hires and volunteer efforts, with future expansion plans currently on hold due to financial restraints.
