Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity returned a net deficit of £81,826 for the year ended 31 August 2024, primarily due to increased building maintenance costs, interest payable, and depreciation charges. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm that free unrestricted reserves of £1,716,370 are adequate to fulfil obligations and cover future interest and expenditure. The trustees have assessed the financial position and reserve levels, concluding there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
