Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a total deficit on unrestricted funds of £1,696 and a restricted fund deficit of £102,090 for the year ended 31 March 2025. Total funds held decreased to £2,662,778 from £2,911,820 in the previous year, with unrestricted reserves falling to £5,986. The trustees note that the high level of overall reserves is considered desirable given the historic nature of the buildings and the need for frequent unplanned maintenance.
