Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £4,633 for the year ended 31 July 2025, primarily due to timing differences in interest group invoicing and a lack of Gift Aid claims compared to the previous year. Per the Treasurer's report, total net assets stood at £74,713, which the trustees describe as being 'well in excess of requirements' and in an 'excellent position' to handle sudden impacts on day-to-day business.
