Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net loss of £7,991 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in total unrestricted funds of £518,864. The trustees' report explicitly notes that maintaining the building is a 'continual struggle financially' due to ongoing maintenance costs and the loss of key income streams. Despite these pressures, the charity remains solvent with significant fixed assets and unrestricted reserves.
