The accounts state that the charity made a profit of £562.66 for the year, with total income of £36,288.64 and expenditure of £35,725.98. The trustees report that while current accounts are healthy, significant future expenditures of approximately £25,000 for play area works are required in the near term. The charity relies on voluntary labor for key roles because its accounts are not sufficiently healthy to warrant paying for them.
