Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted incoming resources were £257,084 against expenditures of £100,710, resulting in a net surplus. However, the Treasurer notes that excluding a one-off property sale, finances were in a poorer state than the previous year due to increased expenditure and reduced income, with an underlying systemic weakness emerging. The cash balance at year-end was £168,430, which is above the stated reserves policy target of approximately £67,000.
