Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a net surplus of £40,242 for the year, increasing its net assets to £800,815. However, the financial review notes that the general fund operated at a deficit of £47,000, driven largely by costs for future building commitments, and the trustees report that the charity currently holds no unrestricted reserves. The PCC maintains a going concern basis, citing adequate resources for the foreseeable future despite the ongoing operational deficit.
