What the accounts disclose
“Since purchasing the building in summer 2024, our financial situation has held steady at a 3 month reserve (not including the building value), which the committee deems appropriate, in case a next pandemic comes around.” — page 5
“In January 2025 we have approached a local charitable business (ACETraining) to help us with initial clearing of the structure for future renovation, which they have done at little cost to ourselves and benefit to their own cause.” — page 5
