Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £16,711 for the year ended 31 December 2025, a worsening from the previous year's deficit of £6,398, largely due to the purchase of solar panels costing £18,017. Despite this deficit, the trustees report that the financial condition is good, with unrestricted cash and bank balances totaling £74,927 at year-end. The charity maintains a reserves policy to keep a modest balance on the General Fund sufficient to meet normal outgoings.
