The accounts state that the charity operated with a slight cash flow deficit of £2,139 for the year, driven by lower income from regular users and high utility costs. Despite this, unrestricted reserves remain positive at £23,369, and the trustees confirm there are no funds materially in deficit. The charity relies heavily on hall hire income to cover running costs and maintains designated funds for future maintenance.
