Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total unrestricted income was £96,990 against total expenditure of £125,985, resulting in a net deficit for the year. The Treasurer reports that unrestricted funds decreased from £83,797 at the end of 2024 to £73,552 in all funds at the end of 2025, though the specific unrestricted reserve balance is not explicitly isolated from restricted funds in the final figure. The PCC policy is to maintain unrestricted funds equivalent to at least three months of unrestricted expenditure, but the document does not explicitly state whether the current unrestricted balance meets this target.
