The accounts state that the charity incurred an operating deficit of £18,164 for the year ended 28 February 2025, resulting in a decline in total reserves from £258,714 to £240,550. The trustees report that free reserves of £53,696 are now below their stated policy target of approximately £70,000, noting that attendance has not achieved pre-pandemic levels. Despite this, the independent examiner confirmed no matters gave cause to believe the accounts were non-compliant, and the trustees confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue.
