Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the district recorded a net deficit of £5,107.13 for the year, driven largely by significant losses at the Centenary Headquarters due to reduced hire income from building works and high energy costs. The Felixstowe Volunteer Shop operated at a break-even level, but the trustees note uncertainty regarding its long-term economic viability and the sustainability of the headquarters' trading status. Despite the deficit, the district held unrestricted reserves of £47,231.79 at year-end.
