Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves totalled £116.8m, with free reserves of £5.2m, which is approximately 3 months of operational expenditure. This reduction from the previous year's 9 months is attributed to significant capital expenditure on building projects, leading the Trustees to acknowledge a sustained period of negative free reserves during the Library+ project.
