Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds total £884,072, with cash reserves significantly reduced to £93,954 due to capital expenditure on the Jubilee Room extension. The charity has taken on £50,000 in long-term debt but expects the sale of a rental property to restore reserves and repay the loan. While day-to hall operations ran at a loss without grant income, the overall financial position is described as healthy and sustainable for the foreseeable future.
