Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated a surplus of £13,010.91 for the year, increasing its total bank balances to £35,465.62. However, the Chair's report notes that the club's future is precarious due to reliance on a small number of volunteers and the need to transition to an incorporated structure to secure long-term sustainability.
